Economic framework for analysis of climate change adaptation options

About the document

The report sets out a methodology for using a cost benefit framework to analyse options that would reduce vulnerability to climate change impacts and select the approach which offers the best long-term pay-off. Three associated case studies apply the methodology.

Case studies

• Coastal inundation at Narrabeen Lagoon - Optimising adaptation investment
• Securing long-term water supply in a time of climatic uncertainty - Optimising adaptation investment
• Adaptation of Melbourne's metropolitan rail network in response to climate change
