![Page 3: Economic Impacts of Ocean Acidification · 2018-04-03 · Economic impacts of coral reef degradation caused by climate change and ocean acidification Dr. Luke Brander • Institute](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022040905/5e79628668a51d4d7c1e8ce1/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Economic questions on climate change and ocean acidification
• What are the human welfare impacts of climate change (expressed in monetary terms)?
• Do the benefits of mitigation and adaptation (reduced climate change damage) outweigh the costs?
• What is the expected distribution of damages?
CC and OA Damage
Cost of Mitigation

Framework for coral reef impact assessment
• Ecosystem Services (ES) framework to link bio-physical environmental change to human welfare
• ES are the benefits that humans derive from ecosystems
• Coral reef ES:
– Fisheries
– Coastal protection
– Tourism/recreation
– Biodiversity
– Bio-prospecting

Coral reef degradation from OA
• Link models that describe the impact pathway for coral reefs:
• Economy-Climate (FUND)
• Ocean acidification
• Coral loss
• Visitor demand
• Ecosystem service values
• Scenario analysis 2000-2100 (SRES)

Conclusions
• This is a first attempt to put a money value on OA impacts on coral reefs
• Provides an argument for both mitigation of CO2 emissions and adaptation to likely impacts
• Impacts are likely to be highly localised depending on vulnerability (exposure + dependence + adaptive capacity)
• Need for research at local scales
