The workshop is upon invitation only.

The Scoping Workshop “Towards joint research programming on climate change impacts and adaptation economics” is being organized within the framework of the European Joint Programming Initiative “Connecting Climate Knowledge for Europe” – JPI Climate; www.jpi-climate.eu.

JPI Climate was established in 2009 as collaboration between 14 European countries, the European Commission and four observer institutions to enhance co-ordination and collaboration across Europe on all aspects of climate change research as well as to help connecting science with society.

The objective is to discuss development of joint research opportunities on economics of climate change impacts and adaptation in a wider climate policy context. The workshop aims at facilitating dialogue between the scientific community, policy makers and practitioners to identify concrete information and knowledge gaps that need to be addressed to usefully support policy development and decision making in the field of both, climate change adaptation and mitigation.

The workshop will focus on concepts, methods and tools to analyze and assess in an integrated perspective the risks, damage, costs and returns of differential impacts and climate adaptation in their regional, sectoral and temporal distribution. It will focus on the integration between top-down and bottom-up approaches in impacts and adaptation assessment, as well as the analysis of potential benefits of adaptation and synergies between adaptation and mitigation policies or other societal priorities.

The workshop aims to provide an opportunity to analyze the role of economics in societal transformations towards climate-smart and climate-resilient societies in Europe. It shall develop guidance on relevant research gaps with regard to socio-economic methods that help evaluating climate policy options in the context of risks, uncertainties, trade-offs and feedbacks between both adaptation and mitigation and provide means to overcome institutional barriers to the implementation of robust climate policies.

The outcomes of the discussion are intended to provide input into the development of possible future joint research funding activities to co-ordinate research efforts on climate change and climate change responses in Europe under the auspices of JPI Climate.
