CIRCLE Workshop on Cost-Benefit in Adapting to Climate Change , 2009
Bonn, Germany
September 24th 2009
The ERA-Net CIRCLE aims at providing a platform for knowledge exchange in the field of Climate Change Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability (CCIAV).
The CIRCLE workshop is free of charge, a remuneration of travel expenses is subject to the CIRCLE refunding rules. The participation is upon invitation only. The maximum number of participants is limited to 25.
This workshop will be held in the context of project clustering activities, being one major item of scientific networking in the contect of CIRCLE. The target auditorium is projects that are funded under the national programmes of CIRCLE partner countries as well as CIRCLE partner and observer funded projects via joint transnational calls. The determination of adaptation in contrast to the costs if adaptation would not be performed should be the major goal in these projects.
Cost – Benefit in Adapting to Climate Change
Whereas in climate protection impacts and costs are compareable abvious to be understood and measures can be taken rather directly, the target dimension for adaptation is not so clear. In many case the open question is to specify towards what to adapt.
One way of getting more concrete here is to determine the costs on adaptation in contrast to the costs if adaptation would not be performed. These activities result in a term called `cost bene`. This workshop is aimed towards a more concrete understanding on this topic.
The following questions will be addressed and discussed in the workshop:
- Ways to quantify costs and benefits under adaptation to climate change
- Which role and relevance do cost benefit analyses have in real life? Importance and acceptance
- Which best practice can be suggested for the performnace of cost benefit analyses in the context of climate chnage adaptation?
Looking forward to meeting you in Bonn!
