Abstract
The Economics of Adaptation to Climate
Change (EACC) study estimates that it will cost $75 - $100
billion each year for developing countries to adapt to
climate change from 2010 to 2050 (World Bank 2009a). The
study funded by the governments of the Netherlands, United
Kingdom, and Switzerland has two specific objectives. The
first is to develop a global estimate of adaptation
coststo inform the international community s
efforts on how to tailor adequate and sustainable support
regarding new and additional resources to help vulnerable
developing countries meet adaptation costs. The second
objective is to support decision makers in developing
countries to better evaluate and assess the risks posed by
climate change and to better design strategies to adapt to
climate change. The EACC study includes a global track to
meet the first study objective and a case study track to
meet the second objective. The country track comprises seven
countries: Ethiopia, Mozambique, Ghana, Bangladesh, Vietnam,
The Plurinational State of Bolivia, and Samoa.
