Assessment of climate change-related risks: potential damage and economic impact of climate change and adaptation measures

In the research project "Cooperation between authorities on climate change and adaptation", on the one hand, the damage potential of priority climate change-related risks for society, the economy and ecosystems in Germany was determined and, where possible, economically assessed. The first part dealt with the analysis of climate change impacts. In the second part, measure and instrument analyses and their costs were exemplarily explained.

On the other hand, technical analyzes and suggestions for a procedure for evaluating measures and political instruments for climate adaptation were developed (see Part 2 of the final report: Development and testing of a procedure for the integrated evaluation of measures and policy instruments for climate adaptation).

Note: this is Part 1 of the final report on the project "Cooperation between authorities on climate change and adaptation". The report is in German (Bewertung klimawandelgebundener Risiken: Schadenspotenziale und ökonomische Wirkung von Klimawandel und Anpassungsmaßnahmen), with a summary in English on page 25
