"In the mining industry, economic assessments, such as Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) or Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA), are employed to systematically determine the best use of scarce resources. In the context of climate change, economic analysis can be used to weigh costs associated with climate risks, against risk management measures, to identify preferred investment and timing with regard to adaptation implementation. Moreover, the analysis enables a comparison between the costs of existing coping measures and those of longer term, deliberately planned actions to adapt to the defined risks, leading to a stronger business case for adaptation action"--Executive summary, page 5.
