In this interview, Sebastiano Bacca, researcher at GCF – Global Climate Forum e.V., explores how economic valuation models help assess wetland changes due to sea level rise.
Key highlights include:
🌊 Economic valuation: Understanding the perceived value of wetlands and their ecosystem services.
📉 Climate risk assessment: Using the DIVA model to project future wetland areas and their economic implications.
🏛 Policy applications: Providing insights for nature-based solutions in coastal protection and climate adaptation strategies.
This research supports better decision-making for sustainable coastal management.
