MEDIATION Real Options Analysis
This briefing note considers the strengths and weakness of Real Options Analysis for climate change adaptation
MEDIATION Adaptation Turning Points
This article, which is part of a series of MEDIATION outputs, discusses the specific situation where climate change induces policy failure and alternative strategies have to be considered. We term these kinds of situations Adaptation Turning Points.
