  • Improving Post-Relocation Support for People Resettled by Infrastructure Development

    Theodore E Downing, Guoqing Shi et al.ARTICLEImpact Assessment and Project…2021

    Lagging other components, project-induced resettlement rarely, if ever, is completed after those resettled are compensated and replacement infrastructure handed-over. Initiating livelihood restoration programs may jumpstart but fall short of re-articulating dismantled local economies. Successful resettlement requires pre- and post-relocation actions that will help resellers and their hosts re-articulate new routine social and economic arrangement…

  • A hydro-economic model for the assessment of climate change impacts and adaptation in irrigated agriculture

    Open AccessPaloma Esteve, Consuelo Varela-Ortega et al.ARTICLEEcological Economics2015Citada por: 2

    Recent research has demonstrated the multidimensional and multi-scalar nature of climate change, evidencing the need to develop integrated tools for the analysis of impacts and adaptation. This research presents a hydro-economic model of the Middle-Guadiana basin, Spain, to assess potential effects of climate change on irrigated agriculture and options for adaptation. It combines a farm-based economic optimisation model with the hydrologic model …

  • Views of the frontiers in climate change adaptation economics

    Open AccessTheodore E DowningARTICLEWiley Interdisciplinary Reviews…2012Citada por: 4Referências: 4

    The shift from framing climate change adaptation as vulnerability–impacts to adaptation pathways is also a shift from a predict‐and‐provide approaches to understanding dynamic processes. Studies of the economics of adaptation relying only on the comparative statics of reference and climate impacts scenarios ignore the more challenging frontier of representing decision processes and uncertainty. The logic of the shift to dynamic‐pathway approaches…

  • Balancing groundwater conservation and rural livelihoods under water and climate uncertainties

  • Global Desertification

    Open AccessJames F Reynolds, Mark Stafford‐Smith et al.ARTICLEScience2007

    In this millennium, global drylands face a myriad of problems that present tough research, management, and policy challenges. Recent advances in dryland development, however, together with the integrative approaches of global change and sustainability science, suggest that concerns about land degradation, poverty, safeguarding biodiversity, and protecting the culture of 2.5 billion people can be confronted with renewed optimism. We review recent …

  • Adaptation to Five Metres of Sea Level Rise

    Richard Sj Tol, Maria Bohn et al.ARTICLEJournal of Risk Research2006Citada por: 3Referências: 2

    There is an unknown but probably small probability that the West‐Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) will collapse because of anthropogenic climate change. A WAIS collapse could cause a 5–6 metre global sea level rise within centuries. In three case studies, we investigate the response of society to the most extreme yet not implausible scenario, a five‐metre sea level rise within a century, starting in 2030. The case studies combine a series of interviews…

  • Getting the Scale Right

    Open AccessLinda Stephens, Linda Stephen et al.ARTICLEDisasters2001Citada por: 11Referências: 6

    This paper introduces broad concepts of vulnerability, food security and famine. It argues that the concepts and theories driving development and implementation of vulnerability assessment tools are related to their utility. The review concludes that socio-geographic scale is a key issue, and challenge. It analyses three vulnerability assessment (VA) methods, using Ethiopia as a case study. Facing the challenges of vulnerability assessment and ea…

  • Development or Destruction

    Nigel J H Smith, Theodore E Downing et al.ARTICLEEconomic Geography1994

    This interdisciplinary study focuses on the effects of forest destruction in Latin America, caused by the expansion of cattle production into these seemingly under-utilized areas. The high ecological and social costs are analyzed from the perspective of several disciplines, including anthropology, animal science, the environmental sciences, forestry and natural resource economics. The contributors explore the dynamics of cattle production, its so…
