Summary:
Without international assistance, developing countries will adapt to climate change as best they can. Part of the cost will be absorbed by households and part by the public sector. Adaptation costs will themselves be affected by socioeconomic development, which will also be affected by climate change. Without a better understanding of these interactions, it will be difficult for climate negotiators and donor institutions to determine the appropriate levels and modes of adaptation assistance.

Overview
This handbook provides a framework for developing integrated socio-economic scenarios that can function at the local, national, and regional and/or global levels. The handbook aims to improve the construction of socio-economic scenarios in two ways. First, it broadens the scope of factors to be included. Second, the handbook focuses on the local sectors that are most relevant for policy, agriculture and water resources.
