| description |
Information on ecosystem characteristics
as well as economic statistics is needed to more fully
inform decision makers on the impacts of climate change on
human well-being. Climate change risks involve potentially
large and irreversible as well as highly uncertain impacts
that need to be evaluated with information that complements
cost-benefit analysis. Information on the irreversibility of
impacts also is relevant for evaluating implications for
intergenerational equity. In addition, climate change is
subject to a large degree of Knightian uncertainty, making
it useful to understand how individuals perceive and
evaluate climate change risks. |
