Objective
         • The objectives of this module are to: 
            •  understand the concept behind cost-benefit analysis,
            •  understand the specific approach of the cost-benefit analysis as it is 
               used in the Climate Expert
            •  be sensitised on the short-comings of cost-benefit analysis in the 
               context of climate change adaptation assessments

            – Relevance of quantification for businesses
                      are particularly relevant for business operations
                      help to compare and prioritize measures
                      support the identification of the most suitable, effective and 
                      efficient adaptation measures
               Support for informed decision making!

        I. Overview of Cost-Benefit Analysis
            – Challenges of quantification
                      Climate change and associated negatives effects that 
                      companies incur from it are uncertain  costs and, particularly, 
                      benefits are not easy to quantify
                      Not all data/information necessary for the assessment is 
                      readily available to allow for an accurate and comprehensive 
                      assessment
