“…Assumptions in modelling studies indicate a number of challenges. For instance, access to finance and mobilization of funds are critical (Fankhauser et al, 2016;OECD, 2017). In turn, policy efforts need to be effective in redirecting financial resources (UNEP, 2015;OECD, 2017) and reducing transaction costs for bankable mitigation projects (i.e.…”

“…Developed countries can be considered to be more resilient to the impacts of climate change, as they have new technologies and institutions to improve climate change mitigation and adaptation (Bowen et al, 2012; Fankhauser et al, 2015). However, climate change is also arguably retarding growth and development in developed countries (GCEC, 2014), and policymakers in developed countries have problems in framing effective climate change policies for both developed countries and developing countries.…”

“…Africa is usually regarded as a region that has adaptation deficits because of a lack of institutional, financial or technological capacity to adapt effectively (Bowen et al, 2012; Fankhauser et al, 2015). However, there are signs to show that climate change policy failures are endemic in both developed and developing countries (Burch, 2010; Casado-Asensio & Steurer, 2014; Eriksen et al, 2011; Park & Brooks, 2015).…”

Some studies indicate that climate change policy failures are endemic to policymakers in both developed and developing countries. Consequently, the increased vulnerability of people in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) can partly be attributed to developed-country stakeholders’ inability to understand climate change vulnerability in the context of SSA and a fear on the part of policymakers to implement substantive policy innovations. In order to determine how social innovation and entrepreneurship can be harnessed to enhance climate change resilience and improve the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), an inductive analysis using secondary data consisting of research articles, policy briefs, project reports and case studies was undertaken. Agribusiness development–focused entrepreneurship and social innovation were noted to have the potential to facilitate the development of new institutions and social systems that can correct structural inequalities and improve investments in SSA’s agriculture sector, thereby reducing local vulnerabilities to climate change and facilitating the attainment of SDG 16 (i.e., promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development). This article is among the foremost in highlighting how climate change policies that integrate entrepreneurship and rural-to-rural migration as means to reduce vulnerability can reduce youth unemployment and support the ‘leave no one behind’ principle.

“…Note that the proposed framework could be extended in future research to include autonomous adaptation costs as well. However, this represents a major challenge since the available estimates about global adaptation costs are primarily about planned adaptation, due to the difficulty of identifying and costing the enormous range of actions that could be considered autonomous adaptation (Parry et al, 2009;Narain et al, 2011;Fankhauser et al, 2016). As in previous studies (De Bruin et al, 2009a;De Bruin et al, 2009b), planned adaptation costs (AD t ) are assumed to be a power function of t 1, :…”

Through stylized damage functions, Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) provide estimates of the economic costs that would occur for absolute changes in global temperature. In these damage functions, adaptation, sensitivity and their interactions are often combined in an intractable way. In this theoretical study we propose a new type of damage functions that allows mapping economic losses in terms of how extreme global temperature changes are in relation to a coping range representing the capacity of a system to deal with the climate conditions experienced at a particular period of time. In these new damage functions, which can be applied to the regional and global scales, adaptation to a changing climate is introduced by allowing the reference climate to be a function of time instead of a fixed quantity. Different formulations of damage functions discussed in the literature arise as special cases.
