Climate change and health: recent progress
Editorials 774 It is almost 20 years since the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) published its second assessment report; the first to include a chapter on human health. It is almost eight years since the IPCC and Al Gore were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, for work on climate change. What progress has since been made on the climate change and health agenda? Most relevant ...
متن کاملClimate change effects on economic growth: mixed empirical evidence
West Africa is vulnerable to the effects of climate change. This paper analyzed the impacts of climate change on economic growth in Anglophone West Africa with similar background, during the periods 1969-2016. Five growth model equations have been developed to incorporate climate change variables into the model. Panel data estimations such as the fixed effect model, random effect model and Haus...
متن کاملDynamics and Economic Aspects of Climate Change
Climate change is the alteration of climate directly or indirectly caused by human activities that modify the composition of the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases (GHG), particularly CO2, are accumulating in the atmosphere, with the consequent warming. Global mean temperature has risen since preindustrial times, with most of the warming occurring in the last three decades. The consequence are increa...
متن کاملModelling Climate Change and its Economic Consequences
We present a new model for climate system analysis, called CLIMBER-2 (for CLIMate and BiosphERe, level 2). This model fills the current gap between simple, highly parameterized climate models and computationally expensive coupled models of global atmospheric and oceanic circulation. We outline the basic assumptions implicit in CLIMBER-2 and we present examples of climate system analysis includi...
متن کاملOn Climate Change and Economic Growth
The economic impact of climate change is usually measured as the amount by which the climate of a given period will affect output or GDP in that period. This paper draws attention to some of the dynamic effects through which climate change may affect economic growth and hence future output. In particular, the paper looks at saving and capital accumulation. With a constant savings rate, a lower ...
