Governments must integrate the management of climate change risks into wider policy making if they are to successfully adapt to them. Economic analysis has a vital role to play in supporting these efforts, by identifying costs and benefits and supporting decision-making for an uncertain future.

- the latest economic evidence on costs and benefits of adaptation,

- options for governments to finance adaptation,

- and tools to mainstream adaptation into decision-making processes.
