The Green Files > FRBSF: Regional Variation in the Potential Economic Effects of ...

Economist's Viewhttp://economistsview.typepad.com/economistsview/2008/08/frbsf-regional.html [Economist's View] The geographic variability discussed here suggests the need for state and local policies in some areas, rather than purely national policies, to prepare for the potential effects of climate change. Moreover, looking beyond U.S. borders, these economic effects are likely to be more challenging for less advanced economies in Africa and Asia, due to their heavier reliance on resource-based economic activity (especially agriculture), more limited economic infrastructure, and lower incomes, all of which intensify the severity of the economic tradeoffs involved (Dell, Jones, and Olken 2008).

Natural Resources[Natural Resources] Regional impacts of climate change in the US: For winter sports activities such as skiing, there appears to be less ambiguity, although, even for this industry, some locations may see benefits through shifts towards warmweather activities, reductions in the incidence of weather that is too cold for comfortable enjoyment of the slopes, and shifts in existing demand to areas where conditions remain favorable.The geographic variability discussed here suggests the need for state and local policies in some areas, rather than purely national policies, to prepare for the potential effects of climate change.Moreover, looking beyond U.S. borders, these economic effects are likely to be more challenging for less advanced economies in Africa and Asia, due to their heavier reliance on resourcebased economic activity (especially agriculture),more limited economic infrastructure, and lower incomes, all of which intensify the severity of the economic tradeoffs involved (Dell, Jones, and Olken 2008)."

As symbolised by the latest Peace Nobel Prize and the active preparation of the post-Koto process, this sense of urgency has also invaded the agendas of political and business decision makers alike.
