Abstract

Este estudo tem por objetivo avaliar o impacto das mudanças climáticas sobre o bem-estar relacionado à saúde no Brasil, por meio de equações estimadas para dados em painel e de projeções climáticas. Os resultados indicam que as mudanças climáticas afetam principalmente a mortalidade de crianças e mulheres. A análise procurou também incorporar aos custos de bem-estar o gasto decorrente do consumo adicional de energia para manutenção do conforto térmico e da redução de riscos à saúde. O aumento do consumo residencial anual de energia com as mudanças climáticas foi estimado em aproximadamente 6%. Os resultados sugerem que a perda de bem-estar relacionada à saúde poderá chegar a 4,7% do Produto Interno Bruto (PIB). Climate change impacts on health-related welfare in Brazil :: This study aimed at assessing the health-related welfare impacts of climate change in Brazil. By analyzing a panel of Brazilian municipalities, we found that climate change affects mostly children and women mortality rates. Welfare cost estimates also incorporate additional energy-related expenditures aimed to maintain thermal comfort and to preserve individuals’ health. Adaptation to new climate conditions may increase annual residential energy consumption by around 6%. Our results suggest that health-related welfare impacts could reach 4.7% of Brazilian GDP.
