摘要 | class="field field-name-field-master-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"> The published OECD-report "Climate Change Risks and Adaptation: Linking Policy and Economics" sets out how the latest economic evidence and tools can enable better policy making for adaptation. Scientists from Ecologic Institute con-tributed to the chapter on the costs and benefits of adaptation on the national and regional scale. Climate change is giving rise to diverse risks, ranging from changing incidences of tropical diseases to increased risks of drought, varying widely in their potential severity, frequency and predictability. Economic analysis has a vital role to play in supporting governments efforts to integrate climate risk into policy making, by identifying costs and benefits and supporting decision-making for an uncertain future. The chapter: "Overview of costs and benefits of adaptation at the national and regional scale" in the OECD-report: "Climate Change Risks and Adaptation: Linking Policy and Economics" was prepared with input from the European project: Economics of Climate Change Adaptation in Europe (ECONADAPT) funded by the European Commission. It reviews the latest evidence on the costs and benefits of adaptation, and draws out some of the key findings and emerging insights. It explores the use of information on the costs and benefits of adaptation to justify the case for action and prioritise resources to deliver the greatest benefits. Results of national and global studies are provided. The latest estimates are provided for the following sectors and risks: sea-level rise, coastal flooding and storms; river, surface water and urban flooding; water supply and management; infrastructure; agriculture; health; biodiversity and ecosystem services; business, services and industry. The main findings of the chapter are that:
