Development and Climate Change Discussion Paper;No. 11 |
| description |
This paper is one component of a global
study on the Economics of Adaptation to Climate Change
(EACC) in developing countries; the focus in this paper is
human health. The main human health impacts of climate
change are increased incidence of vector-borne disease
(malaria), water-borne disease (diarrhea), cardio
respiratory diseases, heat- and cold-related deaths,
injuries and deaths from extreme weather events (flooding),
and a greater prevalence of malnutrition. Adaptation
measures comprise all actions taken to reduce, prevent, or
treat these additional cases of disease or death, including
actions outside the health sector such as disaster reduction
programs, food and water security measures, and the
provision of infrastructure services. For tractability and
to reduce duplication with other components of the EACC
study, the scope of this paper is limited to conventional
public health adaptation activities, with a focus on malaria
and diarrhea. This study also incorporates updates and
revisions to the unit cost of prevention and treatment for
malaria and diarrhea and updates to the exposure-response
functions used to compute the relative risk for malaria. |
