Quantitative estimates of the economic damages climate change usually are based on aggregate relationships linking average temperature to loss in gross domestic product (GDP). However, there is a clear need for further detail regional and sectoral dimensions impact assessments design prioritize adaptation strategies. New developments modeling physical-impact Europe allow better exploration those dimensions. This article quantifies potential consequences four market categories (agriculture,...

The relationship between environmental regulation and regional innovation has been disputed. This paper analyzes data at the provincial level in China 2009 2020 using a fixed-effects model to investigate innovation. baseline regression results suggest that market-based regulatory instruments effectively promote innovation, while command-and-control hinder However, impact of exhibits heterogeneity non-linearity. implementation overly strict hinders low-intensity instead promotes In...

So far, the existing literature has examined impact of climate policy uncertainty (CPU) on green innovation (GI) listed firms. However, there is still a lack research how affects regional compared to its at firm level. In fact, not solely driven by Unlisted firms, government, and government-affiliated scientific institutions also play crucial role in research, development, promotion technologies. This paper examines based panel data for 30 provinces China from 2013 2021 using fixed effects...

Traditional methods of investment appraisal have been criticized in the context climate change adaptation. Economic assessment adaptation options needs to explicitly incorporate uncertainty future conditions and should recognise that uncertainties may diminish over time as a result improved understanding learning. Real analysis (ROA) is an tool developed concepts flexibility learning relies on probabilistic data characterise uncertainties. It also relatively resource-intensive decision...

Abstract This paper describes the development, conceptualization, and implementation of a transdisciplinary research pilot, aim which is to understand how human planetary health could become priority for those who control urban development process. Key challenges include significant dislocation between academia real world, alongside systemic failures in valuation assessment mechanisms. The National Institutes Health four‐phase model team‐based drawn on adapted reflect what has worked well...

Background Poor quality urban environments have substantial impacts on public and planetary health. These costs to society are not readily quantifiable remain largely external mainstream measures of progress. Methods for accounting these externalities exist, but their effective application is in development. Yet there an increasing urgency demand given the profound threats life both now future. We combine data from a series systematic reviews quantitative evidence linking characteristics...

Abstract This paper sets out the main findings from two rounds of interviews with senior representatives UK’s urban development industry: third and final phase a 3-year pilot, Moving Health Upstream in Urban Development’ (UPSTREAM). The project had primary aims: firstly, to attempt value economically health cost-benefits associated quality environments and, secondly, interview those control UK order reveal potential barriers to, opportunities for, creation healthy environments, including...

Abstract Addressing increasingly urgent global challenges requires the rapid mobilisation of new research groups that are large in scale, co-produced and focussed explicitly on investigating root causes at a systemic level. This ways operationalising funding programmes to better support effective interdisciplinary transdisciplinary (ID/TD) partnerships between wide range academic disciplines stakeholder groups. Understanding approaches teams can follow overcome them come through critical...

Epidemiological studies report significant association between air pollution and cardiovascular respiratory mortality. Governmental intervention is required to implement policies aiming increase quality, cost-benefit analysis can be useful evaluate such policies. Reductions in risks of death are arguably the most important benefit underlying air-quality policies, therefore need valued money terms.

ObjectivesThe urban environment can have a significant impact on mental and physical health. Health appraisal of new developments should address these issues. However, transferable economic valuation evidence for planners in the United Kingdom is thin, especially around health, making it harder to estimate cost-efficiency public health interventions conditions.
