Climate Adaptation: Risk, Uncertainty, and Decision-Making

This May 2003 report offers decision-making tools to help businesses assess and respond to the risks posed by global climate change. Guides decision-makers through an eight-stage process to determine whether — and to what extent — adaptation measures are needed to mitigate potential risks from climate change compared with other risks facing the business. The report goes beyond the direct management of climate risks, such as the strengthening of flood defenses, to looking at long-term decisions that may affect profitability.
