[HTML][HTML] Some contributions of integrated assessment models of global climate change
J Weyant - Review of Environmental Economics and Policy, 2017 - journals.uchicago.edu
This article reviews the use of integrated assessment models (IAMs) in climate policy and
research at the global scale. Two different types of IAMs are discussed. First, there are …

A review of estimating population exposure to sea-level rise and the relevance for migration
This review analyses global or near-global estimates of population exposure to sea-level
rise (SLR) and related hazards, followed by critically examining subsequent estimates of …

Comprehensive evidence implies a higher social cost of CO2
The social cost of carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) measures the monetized value of the damages
to society caused by an incremental metric tonne of CO2 emissions and is a key metric …

Economic impacts of tip** points in the climate system
Climate scientists have long emphasized the importance of climate tip** points like
thawing permafrost, ice sheet disintegration, and changes in atmospheric circulation. Yet …

Estimating economic damage from climate change in the United States
Estimates of climate change damage are central to the design of climate policies. Here, we
develop a flexible architecture for computing damages that integrates climate science …

Managed retreat as a response to natural hazard risk
Managed retreat is a potentially important climate change adaptation option, providing an
alternative to structural protection or accommodation measures to manage natural hazard …

Evolving understanding of Antarctic ice‐sheet physics and ambiguity in probabilistic sea‐level projections
Mechanisms such as ice‐shelf hydrofracturing and ice‐cliff collapse may rapidly increase
discharge from marine‐based ice sheets. Here, we link a probabilistic framework for sea …

Understanding extreme sea levels for broad-scale coastal impact and adaptation analysis
One of the main consequences of mean sea level rise (SLR) on human settlements is an
increase in flood risk due to an increase in the intensity and frequency of extreme sea levels …

The social cost of carbon: advances in long-term probabilistic projections of population, GDP, emissions, and discount rates
The social cost of carbon (SCC) is a crucial metric for informing climate policy, most notably
for guiding climate regulations issued by the US government. Characterization of uncertainty …

The ability of societies to adapt to twenty-first-century sea-level rise
Against the background of potentially substantial sea-level rise, one important question is to
what extent are coastal societies able to adapt? This question is often answered in the …
