Special Issue Information
Climate change is expected to have significant impacts on human health because of the risks caused by higher temperatures and the expected damage to ecosystem services. This Special Issue focuses on the economic assessment of the climate change impacts on human health, utilizing non-market valuation methods and integrated assessment models. Both economic and interdisciplinary approaches to the assessment of the socioeconomic effects of health impacts, with innovative proposals to estimate the potential economic damage, are welcome. This Special Issue will contribute to the understanding of the economic impact of climate change on human health from different perspectives, surfacing the physical and social interrelationships of the expected damage.
There is a need to understand the economic impacts of climate change on human health from different perspectives and in different regions around the world. The assessment of health impacts in economic terms will contribute to the design of adaptation and anticipatory policies focusing on the reduction in the risks involved. There is also a need for further evidence on human health risks under different climate scenarios and the perceptions and reactions of human beings to these impacts. The evidence provided for different types of health risks and for the factors that influence human reactions to these risks will be useful for policy formulation and evaluation.
This Special Issue of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health welcomes contributions from researchers on the following suggested topics:
- Health impacts of climate change
- Economic valuation of health impacts
- Integrated assessment model of climate change impacts
- Climate change health impact policy formulation and evaluation
- Regional and geographical differences in health impacts and perceptions
- Human reactions to health impacts
- Determinants of human behaviour facing health impacts
- Physical and socioeconomic factors affecting health impacts of climate change
