We estimate the impacts of climate on economic growth using Gross Regional Product (GRP) for more than 1,500 regions in … climates. With respect to long-term climate conditions, one degree of temperature increase reduces output by 2-3%. The effect …

This paper extends the literature by arguing that climate shocks may … improve economic growth, and the size of the effect increases with good absorptive capacity. However, climate shocks reduce … resilience to climate change. Actions are also needed at global level to reduce greenhouse gases emissions, and build strong …

The Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES) has been widely used to analyze climate change impacts, vulnerability … for climate research and other studies at global, regional and country level. Based on the global income distribution and …

Extreme weather induced by climate change can have major consequences for human health. In this study, I quantify the … scenarios of continued climate change, while holding population and income at current levels. I find that storm-related deaths … would have risen under most climate change scenarios considered, with increases of as much as 52% or declines of as much as …
