Pandey, Kiran2017-08-142017-08-142010-12https://hdl.handle.net/10986/27750This paper is one component of a global study on the Economics of Adaptation to Climate Change (EACC) in developing countries; the focus in this paper is human health. The main human health impacts of climate change are increased incidence of vector-borne disease (malaria), water-borne disease (diarrhea), cardio respiratory diseases, heat- and cold-related deaths, injuries and deaths from extreme weather events (flooding), and a greater prevalence of malnutrition. Adaptation measures comprise all actions taken to reduce, prevent, or treat these additional cases of disease or death, including actions outside the health sector such as disaster reduction programs, food and water security measures, and the provision of infrastructure services. For tractability and to reduce duplication with other components of the EACC study, the scope of this paper is limited to conventional public health adaptation activities, with a focus on malaria and diarrhea. This study also incorporates updates and revisions to the unit cost of prevention and treatment for malaria and diarrhea and updates to the exposure-response functions used to compute the relative risk for malaria.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAGE GROUPSAGRICULTURAL ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGEAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAMBIENT TEMPERATUREBACK MALARIABASIC HEALTHBREAST FEEDINGBREASTFEEDINGBULLETINBURDEN OF DISEASEBURDEN OF MALARIACASES OF DIARRHEACHILD HEALTHCHILD MORTALITYCHOLERACLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATIONCLIMATE CHANGE SCENARIOSCLIMATE CHANGE SCIENCECLIMATE DATACLIMATE MODELSCLIMATE OUTCOMESCLIMATE PROJECTIONSCLIMATE RESEARCHCLIMATE RESEARCH UNITCLIMATE RISKCLIMATE SCENARIOCLIMATE SCENARIOSCLIMATE SCIENCECLIMATE VARIABILITYCLIMATE VARIATIONCLIMATE-CHANGECLIMATE-SENSITIVE DISEASESCLIMATIC CONDITIONSCLIMATIC FACTORSCLINICSCOCO2COLORSCOMMUNICABLE DISEASESCOST EFFECTIVENESSCOSTS OF ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGECOSTS OF CLIMATE CHANGECRUDENGUEDENGUE FEVERDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDIARRHEADIARRHEAL DISEASESDIARRHOEADIARRHOEAL DISEASESDISABILITYDISASTER PREPAREDNESSDISEASE BURDENDISEASE CONTROLDISSEMINATIONEARLY YEARSECONOMICS OF ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGEEFFECT OF CLIMATE CHANGEEMERGENCY PREPAREDNESSEMISSIONEMISSIONSEMISSIONS REDUCTIONSEMISSIONS SCENARIOEMISSIONS SCENARIOSENVIRONMENTAL HEALTHEPIDEMIOLOGYEXTREME EVENTSEXTREME WEATHEREXTREME WEATHER EVENTSFLOODSFOOD PRODUCTIONFRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGEGHGSGLOBAL CLIMATEGLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGEGLOBAL HEALTHGLOBAL TEMPERATUREGLOBAL WARMINGGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASESGRIDGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE SERVICESHEALTH CONDITIONSHEALTH EFFECTSHEALTH INFRASTRUCTUREHEALTH INTERVENTIONSHEALTH OUTCOMESHEALTH RISKSHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SERVICESHIVHOSPITALHOSPITALSHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN HEALTHILLNESSESIMMUNIZATIONIMMUNIZATIONSIMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGEIMPLICATIONS OF CLIMATE CHANGEINFECTIOUS DISEASESINJURIESINTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGEINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF EPIDEMIOLOGYINTERNATIONAL RESPONSEINTERNATIONAL RESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGEINTERVENTIONIPCCLACK OF KNOWLEDGELEGAL STATUSLEVEL OF DEVELOPMENTLOW-INCOME COUNTRIESMALARIAMALARIA BURDENMALARIA CASESMALARIA CONTROLMALARIA INCIDENCEMALARIA PREVENTIONMALARIA REPORTMALARIA TRANSMISSIONMALARIA-ENDEMIC COUNTRIESMALARIOUS AREASMALNOURISHED CHILDRENMALNUTRITIONMEASLESMEDICINEMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALSMINIMUM TEMPERATURESMORBIDITYMORTALITYMORTALITY RATENUMBER OF CHILDRENNUMBER OF DEATHSNUMBER OF PEOPLEOZONEOZONE EXPOSUREPARASITOLOGYPOINT OF DEPARTUREPOPULATION PROJECTIONSPRACTITIONERSPRECIPITATIONPREGNANCYPREMATURE DEATHPREVALENCEPREVENTABLE DISEASESPROGRESSPUBLIC HEALTHQUANTITATIVE ANALYSISRESPECTRISK FACTORSRISK OF MALARIARISKS FROM CLIMATE CHANGEROTAVIRUSSANITATIONSEASONSET OF GOALSSEXSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSTORM SURGESSTORMSTEMPERATURETHERAPYTREATMENTUNCERTAINTY IN CLIMATE PROJECTIONSVACCINESVECTOR CONTROLVULNERABILITYVULNERABLE GROUPSWATER-BORNE DISEASEWEATHER PATTERNSWINTER TEMPERATUREWORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATIONWorking PaperWorld Bank10.1596/27750
