Subsets of the suite of downscaled climatic factors are then to be used to estimate the vector of impacts on key economic sectors of each country, using sector-specific impact assessment models. Based on this information, alternative government adaptation projects will be specified and optimally chosen subject to a government budget constraint. Thereafter, direct impacts of climate change will serve as inputs into a macroeconomic framework to examine the indirect inter-sectoral impacts of climate change as well as adaption strategies. Finally, at each step the analysis will be complemented with perspectives and insights of people whose livelihoods are being or will be affected by changes in climate. Impacts of the climate change and the benefits of specific adaptation measures will be examined in the context of sub-populations defined by livelihood profiles. Local-level analysis of past and present autonomous adaptation measures for a range of groups stratified by sets of livelihood profiles will be conducted using participatory rural appraisal based primary fieldwork in addition to holding participatory workshops and consultations.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABATING CLIMATE CHANGEADAPTATIONADAPTATION BENEFITSADAPTATION COSTADAPTATION COSTSADAPTATION DEFICITADAPTATION INITIATIVESADAPTATION INVESTMENTADAPTATION MEASURESADAPTATION OPTIONSADAPTATION POLICIESADAPTATION PROCESSADAPTATION PROJECTSADAPTATION SCENARIOSADAPTATION STRATEGIESADAPTATION TO CLIMATEADAPTIVE CAPACITYADAPTIVE MEASURESALLOCATIONANALYSIS OF ADAPTATIONANTICIPATORY ADAPTATIONASSESSMENT OF ADAPTATIONATTENTIONAUTONOMOUS ADAPTATIONBENEFIT ESTIMATESCALCULATIONCATASTROPHIC EVENTSCATASTROPHIC IMPACTSCLIMATECLIMATE ADAPTATIONCLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE CHANGE FORECASTSCLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTSCLIMATE CHANGE SCENARIOCLIMATE CHANGE SCENARIOSCLIMATE CONDITIONSCLIMATE EVENTSCLIMATE IMPACTSCLIMATE PARAMETERSCLIMATE PATTERNSCLIMATE PREDICTIONSCLIMATE PROJECTIONSCLIMATE RESILIENCECLIMATE SCENARIOSCLIMATE SCIENCECLIMATE SENSITIVITYCLIMATE STRESSCLIMATE VARIABILITYCLIMATE VARIABLESCLIMATE-CHANGECLIMATE-CHANGE SCENARIOCLIMATE-RELATED EVENTSCLIMATIC CHANGESCLIMATIC FACTORSCOCONSECUTIVE DRY DAYSCOPE WITH CLIMATE VARIABILITYCOST ESTIMATESCOST-BENEFITCOST-BENEFIT ANALYSESCOST-BENEFIT ANALYSISCOSTS OF ADAPTATIONCOSTS OF ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGEDAMAGESDIRECT IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGEDISASTER MANAGEMENTDISASTER RELIEFDISASTER RISKDISASTER RISK REDUCTIONDISCOUNT RATEDISCOUNT RATESDISTRIBUTIONAL IMPACTSDROUGHTECONOMIC ANALYSISECONOMIC ASPECTS OF ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGEECONOMIC CONDITIONSECONOMIC PROBLEMECONOMIC SECTORSECONOMICS OF ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGEECONOMICS OF CLIMATE CHANGEEFFECTIVE ADAPTATIONEMISSIONSEVAPORATIONEXPOSURE TO CLIMATE RISKSEXTREME EVENTSEXTREME VULNERABILITYEXTREME WEATHEREXTREME WEATHER EVENTSFINANCIAL CONSTRAINTSFINANCIAL COSTSFLOODINGFLOODSFORESTSFRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGEFUTURE CLIMATE VARIABILITYGCMGLOBAL ADAPTATIONGLOBAL CLIMATEGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSGREENHOUSE GASESHEAVY RAINSHYDROLOGICAL VARIABLESICEICE-SHEETIMPACT OF CLIMATEIMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGEIMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGEINCOMEINSURANCEINSURANCE MARKETSINTENSE RAINFALLINTERGENERATIONAL EQUITYINTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGEIPCCLAND USELEARNINGMALADAPTATIONMAXIMUM ADAPTATIONMEAN TEMPERATUREMITIGATIONMITIGATION EFFORTSMODELINGPOLICY MAKERSPORTFOLIOPPPRECIPITATIONPRESENT VALUEPROBABILITY DISTRIBUTIONQUANTITATIVE ANALYSISRAINFALLRAINWATERRAINWATER HARVESTINGRELATIVE PRICESRESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGERISK AVERSIONRISK MANAGEMENTSEA LEVEL RISESEA WALLSSEA-LEVELSEA-LEVEL RISESTORM SURGESSTORMSTEMPERATURETEMPERATURESTRANSACTION COSTSUNCERTAINTIESVULNERABILITY TO CLIMATE VARIABILITYWorld Bank10.1596/12695
