%X <span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Climate change is increasingly evident</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">,</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> and the design of
effective climate adaptation policies is important for regional and sectoral
economic growth. We propose different modelling approaches to quantify the
socio-economic impacts of climate change on three vulnerable countries
(Kazakhstan, Georgia, and Vietnam) and design specific adaptations. We use a
Dynamic General Equilibrium (DGE) model for Vietnam and an economy-energy-emission
(E3) model for the other two countries. Our simulations until 2050 show that
selected adaptation measures</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">,</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> in
particular in the agricultural sector</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">,</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> have positive implications for GDP. However, some adaptation measures
can even increase greenhouse gas emissions. Focusing on GDP alone can lead to
welfare-reducing policy decisions.
