Economics of adaptation: assessing incremental and transformative change
September 19, 2016
The CARIAA programme has issued a call for concept notes to fund activities that further collaboration and co-production across consortia and offer new opportunities to progress towards the programme’s overall objectives. This concept note is in response to this call and is submitted on behalf of the cross-CARIAA working group on economics. We propose to hold a training course in spring 2016 targeted at CARIAA junior economists, to build their capacity with regard to advanced economic methods and tools to be used for CARIAA research.
