Description

ENGAGE addresses three challenges: a) to develop sound theoretical understanding and empirical quantification of the channels through which climate impacts may affect long-term growth and development patterns b) to develop new approaches for a bottom-up economic valuation of biophysical impacts bridging the gap between impact and economic models c) the integration of impacts and mitigation in a global dynamic growth framework.

- conceptual and empirical analysis of climate impacts on economic growth - projections of economic damages from flood events and tropical cyclones under climate change - macroeconomic dynamics of climate impacts on land - integrated assessment of climate change impacts and mitigation
