1 CLIMATE CHANGE AND WATER MANAGEMENT: FEAR OF UNCERTAINTY GRETCHEN GREENE, PH.D. ENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMIST, RAMBOLL ENVIRON US 2015 AWRA WASHINGTON STATE CONFERENCE WATER MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES IN THE FACE OF CLIMATE CHANGE SESSION 3: ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS, 11:00
2 PRESENTATION TOPICS Acknowledgement - Uncertainty is Fundamental to Climate Change and Water Management Realization Non-Stationary Probability Presents New Challenges Realization Water Management with Climate Change can Benefit from Economics Weighing Benefits and Costs; Tools Summary
3 UNCERTAINTY IS FUNDAMENTAL TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND WATER MANAGEMENT
4 ECOSYSTEM SERVICES: A FRAMEWORK FOR MEASURING ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY Pressures on Resource Base 200% 180% 160% Percent Increase by 2050 Population 1% per year Economic growth forecast at 3% per year Fuel demand forecast to grow at 2.2% per year Water demand expected to grow at 2% per year Percent Increase 140% 120% 100% 80% 60% 40% 20% 0% Demand for agricultural products 1.5% per year Driver - Population - 53% Driver - Income - 207% Demand for Fuel - 129% Demand for Water 112% Demand for Agricultural Products - 76%
5 CHALLENGE TO WATER MANAGEMENT Climate/Water Uncertainty and Stress Principal 8.7 CLIMATE UNCERTAINTY ECONOMIC STRESS ECONOMIC SOCIAL 41 WATER USE TECHNICAL ADAPT- ATION IMPLEMENTATION PRIORITIZATION Urban Agriculture Environmental* WATER RESOURCE STRESS ENVIRONMENTAL STRESS POLICY California Gross Average Annual Water Use (million acre-feet) *Environmental water use estimates include flows in designated Wild and Scenic Rivers, required Delta outflows, and managed wetlands. Source: Public Policy Institute of California, Managing California s Water: From Conflict to Reconciliation. The theorem: reliability reduces stress The solution: well-managed, adaptive approaches increase reliability
6 HANDLING UNCERTAINTY 1. Uncertainty in Demand Population, Rates of Water Use, Increasing Income 2. Uncertainty in Supply Ecology, Climate, Drought, Increasing Use 3. Strategies to Increase Reliability Technical Feasibility, Cost, Social Acceptance
7 HANDLING UNCERTAINTY 1. Develop Multiple Scenarios with Different Assumptions for Underlying Factors 2. Compare Past Projections to Actual Data and Bound Uncertainty Based on Match 3. Assess Historic Variability for Particular Factor and Use This to Quantify Uncertainty
8 NON-STATIONARITY PRESENTS NEW CHALLENGES
9 NON-STATIONARITY COMPLICATES USE OF OLD UNCERTAINTY TOOLS Stationarity The idea that natural systems fluctuate within an unchanging envelope of variability is a foundational concept that permeates training and practice in water resource engineering
10 POTENTIAL IMPACTS FROM CHANGING CLIMATIC CONDITIONS - REMEDIATION Precipitation decreases substantially Recharge decreases substantially Water levels decrease substantially Or, perhaps, the opposite! HYDROLOGIC CHANGES GEOCHEMICAL CHANGES Reliability? Water levels decrease substantially Temperature increases, dissolved oxygen decreases Groundwater flow directions shift Unanticipated geochemical reactions occur Groundwater velocity shifts Competitive reactions reduce effectiveness
11 WHAT DOES ECONOMICS HAVE TO OFFER?
12 CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION MANAGEMENT - INCORPORATING ECONOMICS Economic decision making focuses on weighing all benefits and costs Benefits and costs need to include environmental assets as well as financial and physical For water resource protection strategies, we either include the value of preserving the water source, or solve for the least cost method of protection In the face of uncertainty, we do not need to know what will happen we need to know the tipping points where our decision would change Residential Property & Land Values Buildings and Built Infrastructure Transportation & Public Infrastructure Economic Impacts from Business Interruptions General Building Stock & Land Values Catalyst of Change: SLR & Other Climate Change Hazards Agriculture Crop Values & Land Values Economic Impacts from Reduced Agricultural Production Ecosystem Services Benefits from Wetlands Recreation, and Habitat Economic Impacts from Reduced Eco/Beach Tourism Asset Classes Change in Economic Value: The change in total Economic Impacts: How change in value impact economic activity in terms of jobs, income, Asset Classes Change in Economic Value Adaptation Scenario
13 FRAMEWORK FOR RISK Risk = Probability of an event or chance that it will occur in the future x Impacts of events in terms of structural damage, environmental harm, business interruptions Likelihood of Events Consequences of Events
14 KEY CONCEPTS DECISION MAKING The Ability and willingness of a community to invest in protective measures depends on local geographic conditions, incomes, discount rates, social norms, perceptions of local climate risk, and the costs of risk mitigation measures. Complete insulation from climate risk is infeasible, even for the wealthiest communities, and affordable adaptive measures may leave poor communities exposed to recurrent losses in hazard-prone areas. Wheeler, David, Quantifying Vulnerability to Climate Change: Implications for Adaptation Assistance Konrad, (2003)
15 WHAT TOOLS CAN WE USE TO MAKE DECISIONS? From evolving website, Valuation and Risk Management affinity group of the National Climate Assessment Network
16 PLAYING AROUND HOW RESILIENT IS THE DECISION? Costs and Benefits in Millions $2,000 $1,500 $1,000 $500 $0 NBA CAA Damage Reduction and Recreation Costs Costs and Benefits in Millions $2,000 $1,500 $1,000 $500 $0 NBA CAA Damage Reduction and Recreation Costs Costs and Benefits in Millions $2,000 $1,500 $1,000 $500 $0 NBA CAA Damage Reduction and Recreation Costs Net Benefits in Millions $800 $600 $400 $200 $0 NBA CAA Net Benefit Ecosystem Service Value Net Benefits in Millions $300 $200 $100 $0 Net Benefit NBA CAA Ecosystem Service Value Net Benefits in Millions $150 $100 $50 $0 -$50 -$100 -$150 NBA CAA Net Benefit Ecosystem Service Value 50 Year Event 100 Year Event 200 Year Event
17 SUMMARY 1. Uncertainty in water management can be quantified 2. Uncertainty is changing, so older methods are not as effective 3. Economics offers benefits and costs approach 4. Focus on decision making and tipping points with an interdisciplinary team
