By default, climate damages are not included in WITCH runs. However, a damage module is available. The damage functions implemented in the WITCH model are based on sectoral climate impact estimates from the ClimateCost project, described in detail in (Bosello and De Cian 2014), and they are integrated with estimates for the impact categories health and catastrophic events. For the category settlements and ecosystems, new estimates are computed using a Willingness-To-Pay approach.
