Economic Analysis of Climate-Proofing Investment Projects

Author

  • Asian Development Bank Institute

Abstract

This report describes the conduct of the cost-benefit analysis of climate proofing investment projects. An important message is that the presence of uncertainty about climate change does not invalidate the conduct of the economic analysis of investment projects, nor does it require a new type of economic analysis.
