Abstract: Abstract The main objective of this book is to analyse the economic implications of climate change for SEA, in particular as they relate to climate change adaptation. To illustrate, a summary of the means by which the objective was achieved is provided. It began by identifying the geographical scope of the book and the climate change and economic characteristics of SEA. This led to the estimation of the impacts of climate change for the region. These impact estimates were used in the implementation of the SEADICE model. This model sought to represent the dynamic optimal outcomes of the interaction between economic growth and climate change for the region. After an analysis of the theories behind adaptation to climate change the conclusions reached were used to incorporate autonomous adaptation into the SEADICE model. Given the results of the model and the arguments made in the book, it ends with relevant discussions and policy recommendations for both mitigation and adaptation for SEA. Rather than repeat these arguments in detail, this chapter concludes the book by highlighting the contributions and the limitations of this book, then it finishes with some consideration of the future areas of research this book may encourage.
