In addition, the pattern and relative magnitude of aggregate change at different levels of global warming can inform mitigation decisions by helping to evaluate the relative magnitude of aggregate climate change that different regions face within a given global warming target.
Finally, we conclude with an illustration that uses the WIPW as the performance metric to support risk-based mitigation decisions using a hypothetical bridge network susceptible to seismic hazards.
The ultimate purpose of the model was to inform mitigation decisions through the investigation of alternative management actions in an adaptive management framework.
Risk mitigation decisions for civil infrastructure exposed to rare natural and manmade hazards are often impacted by risk aversion, a behavioral phenomenon in which the decision maker's perception and judgment of risk are systematically distorted, resulting in decisions that might be viewed as excessively conservative when compared to those from a traditional minimum expected cost analysis.
Using documented sage-grouse impacts as a mitigation currency provides the science necessary to backup mitigation decisions when avoidance is not possible.
Therefore, to inform mitigation decisions, policy makers are increasingly interested in the likely direction and size of these health effects and their interaction with other nonclimatic influences.
We do not focus on impacts from adaptation and mitigation decisions that also have the potential to affect children's health.
Despite these difficulties, nutrition-mediated health effects of some biofuel policies serve as a good example of a tractable co-harms estimation problem that could be used to inform future mitigation decisions (Bloem et al. 2010; Christian 2010; Friel et al. 2009).
At the time of the 1976 crisis, knowledge of the style and magnitude of past eruptive activity of La Soufrière was limited, and multi-parameter monitoring data (e.g. seismicity, deformation, fluid geochemistry) inconclusive and, even jointly, insufficient to reliably inform hazard mitigation decisions.
These snails might also be used to evaluate the efficacy of mitigation decisions or temporary or long-term variations of atmospheric pollutants.
