Using Climate Economic Modelling for Sustainable Economic Development

A practitioner's guide developed by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) to help government economic advisers integrate climate economic modelling into economic development processes to achieve climate-resilient growth.

• Climate economic modelling serves as a critical tool for policy makers to understand the economic costs, benefits, and trade-offs associated with climate change adaptation and climate risks. It is also applicable for advocacy, communications, stakeholder engagement, and problem framing.
• The guide provides a framework for economic advisers in sectoral and central government ministries to incorporate modelling results into economic development processes. This framework includes nine indicative entry points, allowing countries to select the most suitable one based on their specific needs and opportunities.
• The document notes that aligning climate adaptation efforts with peacebuilding can improve long-term stability, legitimacy, and resilience.
