"Economic Aspects of Adaptation to Climate Change: Costs, Benefits and Policy Instruments", edited by Shardul Agrawala and Samuel Fankhauser. This new book provides a critical assessment of adaptation costs and benefits in key climate sensitive sectors, as well as at national and global levels. It examines the potential and limits of economic and policy instruments - e.g. insurance and risk sharing, environmental markets and pricing, public private partnerships - that can motivate adaptation actions.

Slowing down the consequences of climate change is not only possible but also economically feasible. Taking actions now and doing so together would be cheaper for all economies, less than 0.1% of GDP per year from now until 2050. (Video clip in Spanish).

Le changement climatique est déjà une réalité. Les observations scientifiques montrent que les émissions passées de gaz à effet de serre (GES) ont déjà une incidence sur le climat mondial. Si les évolutions actuelles se poursuivent et si les politiques menées présentement sont maintenues, il faut s’attendre à un réchauffement rapide de la planète. Des actions s’imposent dès aujourd’hui pour réduire les émissions mondiales de GES dans les décennies à venir.

Dans ce discours, M. Gurría rappelle que le changement climatique est une réalité et qu'il constitue l'un des plus grands défis auquel est confrontée l'humanité. Il préconise une action immédiate et collective en soulignant que les politiques à mettre en place sont connues et peu coûteuses comparé au prix de l'inaction.
