Climate Impact Evaluation at the National Level: The Interdisciplinary Consistent Framework

Abstract

Impact assessment at the national level requires sectoral detail, economy-wide integration, and a consistent framework and toolbox to do so. This chapter discusses the issues and derives the requirements for climate scenarios and local indicators, shared socioeconomic pathways, and economic evaluation to allow for and ensure consistent integration. Finally, a methodological check-list for national level quantitative climate impact assessment is provided.
