Much present economic analysis concentrates on the relative costs of mitigation of CO2 levels by many options - of which, planting forests is one (Valatin and Price, 2014).
The relative effectiveness of mitigation measures on the long-term evolution of the orbital debris population was investigated in detail by using a new version of the Space Debris Mitigation (SDM) analysis tool, developed under ESA/ESOC contract.
The methodology was used to examine the relative merits of different mitigation schemes in studies for a future plant design.
It is possible to determine the effectiveness of risk mitigation with relative precision and the relevant physical quantities.
For this reason, GHG mitigation potential, relative to the fossil fuel it displaces, is the most considered environmental performance indicator of a biofuel.
As a consequence, measuring the forest mitigation performance relative to the absolute emissions and removals of the base year (or period) may lead to outcomes that reflect age-related legacy effects rather than changes in forest management, with accounted credits and debits therefore not reflecting mitigation efforts.
This study develops and tests the applicability of a quasi-2D hydraulic model to aid the identification of large-scale flood risk mitigation strategies relative to a 500-year flood event other than levee heightening, which is not technically viable nor economically conceivable for the case study.
For these species, comparing the spatial scales at which bycatch and compensatory mitigation occur relative to the geographic range of the affected populations is critical.
Further investigation is needed to evaluate the efficacy and impact of school dismissal, including the timing of dismissal in relation to recognition of cases in a school or community and the impact of school dismissal relative to other community mitigation strategies.
However, the relative value of individual mitigations is less clear, especially where response policies were universally applied and retrospective analyses are missing 'controls' (i.e., areas where a mitigation was not applied).
