Status of global coastal adaptation
The state of progress towards climate adaptation is currently unclear. Here we apply a structured expert judgement to assess multiple dimensions sha** adaptation (equally weighted): risk knowledge, planning,...

The timing of decreasing coastal flood protection due to sea-level rise
Sea-level rise amplifies the frequency of extreme sea levels by raising their baseline height. Amplifications are often projected for arbitrary future years and benchmark frequencies. Consequently, such projec...

A systematic global stocktake of evidence on human adaptation to climate change
Assessing global progress on human adaptation to climate change is an urgent priority. Although the literature on adaptation to climate change is rapidly expanding, little is known about the actual extent of i...

Open AccessInvestments under non-stationarity: economic evaluation of adaptation pathways
Investment decisions about capital-intensive, long-lived infrastructure are challenging due to uncertainty about their future performance, particularly if the performance is sensitive to climate change. Such i...

Chapter
Dynamic Adaptive Policy Pathways (DAPP): From Theory to Practice
Decision making by flood risk managers is challenged by uncertainty and changing climate risk profiles that have elements of deep uncertainty.

Integrated Disaster Risk Management and Adaptation
This chapter discusses integrated approaches to the management of risks related to extreme weather and climate change. This is done with the Loss and Damage (L&D) mechanism of the UNFCCC in mind. Relevant insi...
