Have Disaster Losses Increased Due to Anthropogenic Climate Change?
A nthropogenic climate change leads to more damage from weather disasters. This claim is made frequently in debates on the impacts of ongoing global warming. Although many other impacts and risks are associated with climate change, shifts in weather extremes are one of the most prominent anticipated impacts and of concern to many. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reported th...
full textRisk Estimation of Hepatocellular Carcinoma due to Exposure to Aflatoxins in Maize from Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Background: Besides their mutagenic, carcinogenic, and teratogenic effects, Aflatoxins (AFs) also act as the main contributor to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) which is known as the most common primary liver cancer worldwide. The main aim of this study was risk estimation of HCC due to exposure to aflatoxins in maize from Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Methods: As a model, maize samples were taken fro...
full textRisk Management and Climate Change
The selection of climate policies should be an exercise in risk management reflecting the many relevant sources of uncertainty. Studies of climate change and its impacts rarely yield consensus on the distribution of exposure, vulnerability, or possible outcomes. Hence policy analysis cannot effectively evaluate alternatives using standard approaches such as expected utility theory and benefit-c...
full textEmerging public health issues due to climate change
In a news release by the World Health organization on World Health Day (April 7, 2008), it stated that human beings are already exposed to the effects of climate-sensitive diseases and that these diseases today kill millions. They include malnutrition, which causes over 3.5 million deaths per year, diarrhoeal diseases, which kill over 1.8 million, and malaria, which kills almost 1 million. The ...
full textImpact of climate change on elder health.
Demographers predict human life expectancy will continue to increase over the coming century. These forecasts are based on two critical assumptions: advances in medical technology will continue apace and the environment that sustains us will remain unchanged. The consensus of the scientific community is that human activity contributes to global climate change. That change will degrade air and w...

418 POLICYFORUM I n recent years, we have seen transmission of traditionally " tropical " diseases in continental Europe: chikungunya fever (CF) in Italy in 2007, large outbreaks of West Nile fever in Greece and Romania in 2010, and the fi rst local transmission of dengue fever in France and Croatia in 2010 (1– 3). These events support the notion that Europe is a potential " hot spot " for emer...
