Infectious disease, development, and climate change: a scenario analysis

We study the effects of development and climate change on infectious diseases in Sub-Saharan Africa. Infant mortality and infectious disease are closely related, but there are better data for the former. In an international cross-section, per capita income, literacy, and absolute poverty significantly affect infant mortality. We use scenarios of these three determinants and of climate change to...

Socio-economic Scenario Development for Climate Change Analysis

Socio-economic scenarios constitute an important tool for exploring the long-term consequences of anthropogenic climate change and available response options. They have been applied for different purposes and to a different degree in various areas of climate change analysis, typically in combination with projections of future climate change. Integrated assessment modeling (IAM) has used them to...

Assessment of Climate Change Scenario in the Middle-East Region

One key issue in climate change impact studies is the need to make an in-depth study on the likely impacts facing each country. In this paper, an assessment of the climate change scenario has been carried out for the middleeast region. Particular emphasis has been laid on the climate change issues pertaining to the state of Kuwait – an important state in the Gulf region. A World Bank report pre...

Climate change scenario for Costa Rican montane forests

[1] Tropical montane cloud forests are characterized by persistent immersion in clouds, an important source of moisture during the dry season. Future changes in temperature and precipitation could alter cloud cover at the vegetation level and seriously affect mountain ecosystems. A regional climate modeling study that focuses on changes in the distributions of temperature and precipitation in C...
