Adaptation costs for climate change-related cases of diarrhoeal disease malnutrition and malaria in 2030

摘要

BackgroundClimate change has begun to negatively affect human health, with larger burdens projected in the future as weather patterns continue to change. The climate change-related health consequences of diarrhoeal diseases, malnutrition, and malaria are projected to pose the largest risks to future populations. Limited work has been done to estimate the costs of adapting to these additional health burdens.
