1. Vulnerability and Adaptation Assessment Hands-on Training Workshop Integration of V&A Analysis

2. Outline Integration of results General points Cross sector and multisector integration Setting priorities Vulnerability Adaptation

3. Why is Integration Important? Impacts do not happen in isolation Impacts in one sector can adversely or positively affect another Some sectors are affected directly and indirectly Others just indirectly Sometimes a change in one sector can offset the affect of climate change in another sector In addition, integration is necessary for ranking vulnerabilities and adaptations

4. Main Types of Integration of Results Cross-sector integration Link related sectors Multisector Economy or system wide Integrated assessment models Economic models

5. Impacts in One Sector Can Overwhelm Direct Climate Effect In a recent study, crop yields in California were generally estimated to increase with climate change In one scenario, a 25% reduction in water supply results in a net loss of $1 billion/year to California agriculture

10. Regional/National Economic Models Quantitative way to examine climate change market impacts throughout an economy Problem with nonmarket impacts Often macroeconomic models or general equilibrium models Require much data Can be expensive Can be complex Communication of assumptions can be a challenge

11. An Example of a Regional Model

12. A More “Simple” Approach Add up results sector by sector Limited by what is known within sectors Problem of how to integrate across multiple end points Impacts may be measured with different metrics Need to account for many sectors Does not capture sectoral interactions

14. Can Also Measure Number of People Affected “Millions at Risk” study did this Global burden of disease

15. Millions at Risk Study

16. At a Minimum Should at least qualitatively identify linkages and possible direction of impacts If crops can be examined, not water supply, then identify how change in water supply could affect agricultural production

17. Integration through Setting Priorities Vulnerability Adaptation

18. Prioritization of Vulnerabilities It can be quite useful for Focusing adaptation measures Monitoring Adaptation

19. Process is as Important as Outcome This is an expression of values, not a purely analytic exercise Need to include stakeholders and policy makers The following are tools that can be useful in setting priorities Whether you use qualitative or quantitative approach, the most important thing is JUST DO IT

27. Ranking Based on Scenario

28. Benefit-Cost Analysis Estimate all benefits and costs in a common metric to determine whether benefits > costs Monetary values often used Difficulty: what to do about nonmarket benefits or uncertainties Difficulty: requires much data and analysis

30. What to Use

31. Conclusions Integration is important to at least identify related impacts Analysis is desirable because there can be surprises Integration can also be useful for examining total vulnerability and ranking vulnerabilities
