Using a newly-available panel dataset of gridded annual crop yields in conjunction with dynamic econometric model that distinguishes between farmers' short-run and long-run responses to weather shocks accounts for adaptation, we investigate the risk global from climate warming. Over broad spatial domains observe only slight moderation impacts by adjustments. In absence additional margins adaptation beyond those pursued historically, projections constructed using an ensemble 21 simulations...
Abstract Epidemiological analyses of health risks associated with non-optimal temperature are traditionally based on ground observations from weather stations that offer limited spatial and temporal coverage. Climate reanalysis represents an alternative option provide complete spatio-temporal exposure coverage, yet to be systematically explored for their suitability in assessing temperature-related at a global scale. Here we the first comprehensive analysis over multiple regions assess most...
Older adults are generally amongst the most vulnerable to heat and cold. While temperature-related health impacts projected increase with global warming, influence of population aging on these trends remains unclear. Here we show that at 1.5 °C, 2 3 °C heat-related mortality in 800 locations across 50 countries/areas will by 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.5%, respectively; among which 1 5 4 deaths can be attributed aging. Despite a decrease cold-related due progressive warming alone, mostly counteract this...
This paper investigates how households adopt and use air conditioning to adapt climate change increasingly high temperatures, which pose a threat the health of vulnerable populations. The analysis examines conditions in eight temperate, industrialized countries (Australia, Canada, France, Japan, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland). identification strategy exploits cross-country cross-household variations by matching geocoded with data. Our findings suggest that respond excess heat...
Abstract Increasing temperatures will make space cooling a necessity for maintain comfort and protecting human health, rising income levels allow more people to purchase run air conditioners. Here we show that, in Brazil, India, Indonesia, Mexico humidity-adjusted temperature are common determinants adopting air-conditioning, but their relative contribution varies relation household characteristics. Adoption rates higher among households living quality dwellings urban areas, those with of...
Although substantive agreement exists on the role of climate variability and food scarcity in increasing violence, a limited number studies have investigated how resources affect violent conflict. This article explores complex linkages between variability, agricultural production conflict onset, by focusing spatial distribution crop cross-country setting. We hypothesize that differences within countries are relevant factor shaping impact agriculturally -dependent countries. To test this...
Climate adaptation actions can be energy-intensive, but how feeds back into the energy system and environment is absent in nearly all up-to-date scenarios. Here we quantify impacts of entailing direct changes final use on investments costs, greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution. We find that needs for increase considerably over time with warming. The resulting addition capacity power generation leads to higher local pollutants, costs. In short medium term, much added fossil-fuel based....
Abstract Combined heat and humidity is frequently described as the main driver of human heat‐related mortality, more so than dry‐bulb temperature alone. While based on physiological thinking, this assumption has not been robustly supported by epidemiological evidence. By performing first systematic comparison eight stress metrics (i.e., combined with other climate variables) warm‐season in 604 locations over 39 countries, we find that optimal metric for modelling mortality varies from...
Excessively high and low temperatures substantially affect human health. Climate change is expected to exacerbate heat-related morbidity mortality, presenting unprecedented challenges public health systems. Since localised assessments of temperature-related mortality risk are essential formulate effective responses adaptation strategies, we aimed estimate the current future under four climate scenarios across all European regions.
BackgroundClimate change can directly impact temperature-related excess deaths and might subsequently the seasonal variation in mortality. In this study, we aimed to provide a systematic comprehensive assessment of potential future changes variation, or seasonality, mortality across different climate zones.MethodsIn modelling collected daily time series mean temperature (all causes non-external only) via Multi-Country Multi-City Collaborative (MCC) Research Network. These data were during...
Heatwaves are one of the leading causes climate-induced mortality. Using examples recent heatwaves in Europe, United States and Asia, we illustrate how communication dangerous conditions based on temperature maps alone can lead to insufficient societal perception health risks. Comparison maximum daily values with physiological heat stress indices accounting for impacts both humidity, illustrates substantial differences geographical extent timing their respective peak during these events....
BackgroundExposure to cold spells is associated with mortality. However, little known about the global mortality burden of spells.MethodsA three-stage meta-analytical method was used estimate by means a time series dataset 1960 locations across 59 countries (or regions). First, we fitted location-specific, spell-related associations using quasi-Poisson regression distributed lag non-linear model period up 21 days. Second, built multivariate meta-regression between location-specific and seven...
Abstract The rising humid heat is regarded as a severe threat to human survivability, but the proper integration of into heat-health alerts still being explored. Using state-of-the-art epidemiological and climatological datasets, we examined association between multiple stress indicators (HSIs) daily mortality in 739 cities worldwide. Notable differences were observed long-term trends timing events detected by HSIs. Air temperature (Tair) predicts heat-related well with robust negative...
We describe a climate risk index that has been developed to inform national adaptation planning in Italy and is further elaborated this paper.

Climate extreme indices (CEIs) are important metrics that not only assist in the analysis of regional and global extremes meteorological events, but also aid climate modellers policymakers assessment sectoral impacts. Global high-spatial-resolution CEI datasets derived from quality-controlled historical observations, or reanalysis data products scarce. This study introduces a new high-resolution gridded dataset CEIs based on sub-daily temperature precipitation Land Data Assimilation System...
Nearly 1 billion people live without electricity at home. Energy poverty limits their ability to take autonomous actions improve air circulation and the cooling of homes. It is therefore important that electricity-access planners explicitly evaluate current future needs energy-poor households, in addition other basic energy needs. To address this issue, we combine climate, socio-economic, demographic satellite data with scenario analysis model spatially explicit estimates potential demand...
