The case of a southern European glacier which survived Roman and medieval warm periods but is disappearing under recent warming
(Cryosphere, 2021)Mountain glaciers have generally experienced an accelerated retreat over the last 3 decades as a rapid response to current global warming. However, the response to previous warm periods in the Holocene is not well-described ... -
The cognitive and experiential effects of flood risk framings and experience, and their influence on adaptation investment behaviour
(Climate Risk Management, 2021-01-01)This study explores how decision makers invest in adaptation to protect against flood risks in response to a) different framings of flood risk information, and b) after experiencing losses from a hypothetical flood event. ... -
The contribution of carsharing to low carbon mobility: Complementarity and substitution with other modes
(Research in Transportation Economics, 2021)This paper analyses both the attributes of carsharing transport modes (station-based and free-floating) and their relationship with other transport modes. Users' and stakeholders’ perspectives are synthesized from in-depth ... -
The contribution of the commons to the persistence of mountain grazing systems under the Common Agricultural Policy
(Land Use Policy, 2022-06-01)... -
The Costs of Drought: the Exceptional 2007-2008 Case of Barcelona
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2009-11-18)The drought affecting Catalonia between 2007 and 2008 was the most severe of the last century and serves as a case study for the assessment of the economic costs of such an event. The main focus is the drought affecting ... -
The Costs of Ecosystem Adaptation: Methodology and Estimates for Indian Forests
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2009-11-18)This paper presents a detailed methodology for estimating the cost of adaptation to climate change impacts on ecosystems. Up to date estimates are built-up following national investments in measures such as protected areas, ... -
The Costs of Sea-Level Rise: Coastal Adaptation Investments vs. Inaction in Iberian Coastal Cities
(MDPI, 2020-04-24)Iberian coastal cities are subject to significant risks in the next decades due to climate change-induced sea-level rise. These risks are quite uncertain depending on several factors. In this article, we estimate potential ... -
The Demand for Environmental Quality in Driving Transitions to Low Polluting Energy Sources
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2011-11-15)The purpose of this paper is to understand the long run demand for energy-related environmental quality, its influence on legislation and on transitions to low polluting energy sources. It starts by presenting a simple ... -
The desirability of transitions in demand: Incorporating behavioural and societal transformations into energy modelling
(Energy Research and Social Science, 2020)Quantitative systems modelling in support of climate policy has tended to focus more on the supply side in assessing interactions among technology, economy, environment, policy and society. By contrast, the demand side is ... -
The Determinants of Energy Efficiency Investments in the U.S.
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2010-11-08)This paper analyses decisions on energy efficiency (EE) investments by small and medium manufacturing enterprises in the U.S. which have received assessment from the Department of Energy (DoE). The results confirm the ... -
The DICER Model: Methodological Issues and Initial Results
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2010-09-14)This paper introduces DICER, a model for the integrated assessment of climate – economy interactions within an optimal growth framework developed based on the structure of the DICE2007 model. We present the methodological ... -
The Economic Impacts of Biodiversity Policy for Improving the Climate Regulating Services Provided by EU Natura 2000 Habitats
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2012-10)We adopted the state-of-the-art methodologies to quantify the total carbon stocked by Natura 2000 habitats as well as to project the future changes of carbon stocks influenced by alternative policy options for the management ... -
THE ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS of TIED AID and LOCAL CONTENT REQUIREMENTS for CLIMATE FINANCE
(Climate Change Economics, 2020)The Paris Agreement states that from 2020 developed countries will mobilize at least USD 100 billion per year to support climate action in developing countries. The attainment of this objective involves decisions by donor ... -

(2020-06-04)A lo largo de cinco capítulos, esta tesis explora algunas de las cuestiones críticas entorno a la economíade la adaptación al cambio climático y a la toma de decisiones en ciudades. El Capítulo 2 explora estudios previos ... -
The economics of climate finance
(2017-04-24)En el Acuerdo de Copenhague (2009), los países de desarrollados se comprometieron a movilizar 100.000 millones de dólares anuales para apoyar la acción climática en los países en desarrollo a partir de 2020. Desde entonces, ... -
The economics of hydro-meteorological disasters: approaching the estimation of the total costs
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2013-08-28)Hydro-meteorological disasters have caused increasing losses in recent years. Efficient risk reduction policies require accurate assessment approaches, with careful consideration of costs, beyond direct tangible costs, ... -
The ecosystem carbon sink implications of mountain forest expansion into abandoned grazing land: The role of subsoil and climatic factors
(Elsevier, 2019)Woody encroachment is a widespread phenomenon resulting from the abandonment of mountain agricultural and pastoral practices during the last century. As a result, forests have expanded, increasing biomass and necromass ... -
