Las proyecciones de los impactos económicos del cambio climático
This study provides monetary estimates of the impacts of climate change in European agriculture.
Future scenarios are derived from several socio-economic scenarios and experiments conducted
using global climate models and regional climate models. The economic valuation is conducted by using
GTAP general equilibrium model across simulations based on crop productivity changes that consider no
restrictions in the volume of water available for irrigation in current irrigated areas or in the application of
nitrogen fertilizer. Thus the results should be considered optimistic from the production point and pessimistic
from the environmental point of view. Regional differences between northern and southern European
countries are found and the monetary estimates show that uncertainty derived from socio-economic
scenarios has a larger effect than uncertainty derived from climate scenarios.
