The effect of the inclusion of uncertainty on the optimal allocation of resources to climate change mitigation and adaptation programs

How to deal with our changing climate is one of the most controversial topics facing modern society. The two most prevalent choices are to mitigate the effects through global programmes, or adapt to the changes at the local level. While both have positive and negative traits, the reality is that a c...
