La Economía de los efectos del cambio climático y la Política de beneficios en la escala de la ciudad: un marco conceptual.

Cities are particularly vulnerable to climate change and climate extremes because they concentrate many activities, people and wealth in limited areas. As a result they represent an interesting scale for assessment and understanding of climate change impacts as well as for policy assessment. This paper provides a conceptual backdrop for urban economic impact assessment of climate change and its specific aim is to provide both a conceptual and a methodological framework for OECD work in this area. The paper also identifies the need for additional research, including on the need for more integrated approaches to address climate change as a part of the urban development challenge and on approaches to assess the economic impacts of climate change at local scale.
