Climate change, adaptation, and mortality IRD, France This paper develops a dynamic quantitative spatial general equilibrium model with age-specific agents and multiple locations to study the impact of climate change on mortality in Sub-Saharan Africa. The model integrates adaptation to economic and health-related issues of climate change through trade and migration, and assesses the effectiveness of adaptation policies to mitigate climate-change-induced mortality. The model is calibrated using a rich set of data from household surveys, satellite data, and the epidemiological literature on a fine grid at 1\textdegree{} resolution, and projects the economy and demography into future climate scenarios. By 2050, 350,000 additional deaths could be attributable to climate change, particularly due to the increase in undernutrition and the expansion of malaria-suitable zones. A counterfactual scenario suggests that reducing country barriers to migration could significantly reduce climate-induced mortality from undernutrition. | |
