Delta Economics and Sustainability

The research uses multiregional input-output tables and Computable General Equilibrium models to analyze how environmental change and extreme events impact supply chains and economic activities in delta regions. The analysis indicates that climate change could lead to a significant reduction in GDP per capita, specifically between 9% and 19.5% in the studied deltas, primarily through negative effects on fisheries, agriculture, and infrastructure.

• Environmental change, including slow-acting changes and shocks from extreme events, poses a risk to the sustainability of economic activities in deltas and their broader regional economies.
