# Improving the Assessment and Valuation of Climate Change Impacts for Policy and Regulatory Analysis: Research on Climate Change Impacts and Associated Economic Damages

Keywords Participating Organizations Report Details Summary EPA's National Center for Environmental Economics ( NCER) and Climate Change Division (CCD), together with DOE’s Office of Policy and International Affairs sponsored a two-day works hop on Modeling Climate Change Impacts and Associated Economic Dama ges. This was the second in an EPA/DOE workshop series, "Improvin g the Assessment and Valuation of Climate Change Impacts for Policy and Regulatory Analysis."
The impetus for this workshop series was the 2009-2 010 inter-agency 'social cost of carbon' workgroup that used the DIC E, FUND, and PAGE integrated assessment models to estimate time paths of the social cost of carbon for use in future U.S. government regulat ory analyses. A summary of the workgroup's findings (854K) is available. The U.S. government’s intenti on is to revise these estimates, taking into account new research finding s that were not included in the first round. To help motivate and inform this process, EPA and D OE are hosting a series of workshops. The November 18-19, 2010, workshop focused on conceptua l and methodological issues related to integrated assessment modeling and valuing climate change impacts, along with methods of incorporating these estimates into policy analysis. The second workshop (January 27-28, 2011) reviewed research on estimating impacts and v aluing damages on a sectoral basis.
