Project 2: Climate-economy modelling, with three Work Packages:
WP2.1 Integrated and regionally disaggregated climate-economy models
WP2.2 Evaluation of the scope for global adaptation mechanisms
WP2.3 Purposeful Research and Development (R&D) and directed technical change
Project 3: Impact modelling and applications, with three Work Packages:
WP3.1 Quasi-experimental statistical studies
WP3.2 Global impacts and feedbacks
WP3.3 Regional impacts and adaptation
Project 4: The process of adaptation to climate change, with three Work Packages:
WP4.1 Stakeholder mapping and climate risk perception
WP4.2 Social learning on adaptation
WP4.3 Policy analysis and integration
Case studies
Within Mistra-SWECIA, cross-cutting case studies are focused research efforts, pulling from the different projects. This leads to consistent analysis of climate change and impacts, other drivers of change, vulnerability and adaptation options. The targeting nature of the case studies also promotes end-user relevance. The case studies are at the same time set in a broader context to elucidate the local-to-regional-to-global interdependencies and to faciltate generalizations of the results.
See more about the two first case studies here: Stockholm case study 2008-2009 and Forestry case study 2009-2010.
