of the most climate sensitive outcomes. Using a global malaria mortality dataset for 105 countries between 1980 and 2010 …, we estimate that the global optimal temperature maximizing all-age malaria mortality is 20.6, lower than previously … predicted in the literature. While in the case of child mortality, a significantly lower optimum temperature of 19.3° is …

We estimate the impact of temperature extremes on mortality in Vietnam, using daily data on temperatures and monthly … data on mortality during the 2000-2018 period. We find that both cold and heat waves cause higher mortality, particularly … among older people. This effect on mortality tends to be smaller in provinces with higher rates of air-conditioning and …

We exploit 0.5°×0.5° raster data for mainland Southeast Asia from 2010 to 2020 to document a non-linear relationship between extreme temperature days and conflict. We show that the occurrence of conflict events increases with extreme maximum temperature days, whereas days with extreme minimum...

The effects of extreme weather events, such as heat waves and droughts are taken into account in both global and … extreme weather events, in particular, droughts and high temperatures, for the German power sector. Furthermore, we consider … droughts and high temperatures. We investigate increases in the wholesale electricity price and price volatility and develop a …

Climate disaster events are expected to displace at least 1.2 billion people by 2050. However, “climate refugees,” or individuals displaced in the context of disasters and climate change, lack international legal recognition and protection. In 2020, an international tribunal acknowledged in...

As reporting GHG emissions becomes mandatory in the financial sector, the methods by which emissions are calculated will grow in importance for their impact on the resulting metric. Progress is underway in both the public and private financial sectors to embed emissions accounting standards, but...

This paper covers three policy-relevant aspects of the carbon content of electricity that are well established among … requires electricity to be almost carbon-free before the end of the century. As such, the question for policy makers is not … whether to decarbonize electricity but when to do it. Second, decarbonization of electricity is still possible and required if …

The global energy transition is happening, but too slowly to limit climate change to acceptable levels, for diverse reasons. Carbon emissions policies and measures focus too little on absolute emission targets and too much on relative measures such as carbon intensity. Focus is needed on early...
