Costing Climate Impacts and Adaptation: A Canadian Study on Human Health
-
Description
-
This study is an attempt to generate a "bottom-up" estimate of the economic impacts of climate change in the human health context. The analysis first considers physical impacts, which are defined as the climate induced changes in a number of health endpoints (heat-related mortality; ozone-related morbidity and mortality). Based on these physical impacts, the analysis derives estimates of economic impact. Additionally, this study aims to identify indicative cost-effective adaptation measures that may reduce future potential health impacts. This study presents climate change impact estimates for three 30-year periods centering on 2025, 2055, and 2085. The four cities included in the analysis are Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, and Vancouver.
