Climate Risk Assessment under Uncertainty: An Application to Main European Coastal Cities
Abadie, Luis María; Sainz de Murieta Zugadi, Elisa; Galarraga, Ibon (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2016-12-16)This paper analyses the risk of extreme coastal events in major European coastal cities using a stochastic diffusion model that is calibrated with the worst case emission scenario from the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate ... -
Comparing urban coastal flood risk in 136 cities under two alternative sea-level projections: RCP 8.5 and an expert opinion-based high-end scenario
Abadie, Luis María; Jackson, L.P.; Sainz de Murieta Zugadi, Elisa; Jevrejeva, S.; Galarraga, I. (Elsevier, 2020)The high degree of uncertainty associated with the extent of future sea-level rise stems primarily from the potential mass loss of the Greenland and Antarctica ice-sheets. We explore the impact of this uncertainty on ... -
Determining discount rates for the evaluation of natural assets in land-use planning: An application of the Equivalency Principle
Markanday, A.; Galarraga, I.; Chiabai, A.; Sainz de Murieta Zugadi, Elisa; Lliso, B. (Elsevier, 2019)One of the most pressing issues when making decisions over long-term environmental problems is deciding on an appropriate discount rate. This can be a highly technical discussion. While some argue in favour of market rates, ... -
How well do climate adaptation policies align with risk-based approaches? An assessment framework for cities
Sainz de Murieta Zugadi, Elisa; Galarraga, I.; Olazabal, M. (CITIES, 2021)Many cities around the world are undertaking adaptation planning processes in contexts of considerable uncertainty due to climate risks. However, new evidence suggests that current adaptation policies are failing to fully ... -

Sainz de Murieta Zugadi, Elisa; Galarraga, I.; Markandya, Anil (Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2012)Ekarpen honek, azken urteotan hainbesteko garrantzia bereganatu duen klima-aldaketaren arazoa ikuspegi sozioekonomikotik aztertzea du helburu. Artikuluan, klima-aldaketaren eragin fisiko eta ekonomikoei aurre egiteko ... -
The Costs of Sea-Level Rise: Coastal Adaptation Investments vs. Inaction in Iberian Coastal Cities
Abadie, Luis María; Sainz de Murieta Zugadi, Elisa; Galarraga Gallastegui, Ibon (MDPI, 2020-04-24)Iberian coastal cities are subject to significant risks in the next decades due to climate change-induced sea-level rise. These risks are quite uncertain depending on several factors. In this article, we estimate potential ... -
Transnationalization of climate adaptation by regional governments and the RegionsAdapt initiative
Setzer, J; Sainz de Murieta Zugadi, Elisa; Galarraga, I.; Rei, F; Pinho, MML (Cambridge University Press, 2020)Adaptation to climate change has traditionally been framed as a local problem. However, in recent years, and particularly since the 2015 Paris Agreement established a global goal on adaptation, adaptation has risen on the ... -
Understanding risks in the light of uncertainty: low-probability, high-impact coastal events in cities
Abadie, Luis María; Galarraga, Ibon; Sainz de Murieta Zugadi, Elisa (Environmental Research Letters, 2017-01-17)A quantification of present and future mean annual losses due to extreme coastal events can be crucial for adequate decision making on adaptation to climate change in coastal areas around the globe. However, this approach ...
