Evidence-Based Priority Setting for Climate Change and Pandemic Preparedness in Sub-Saharan Africa: Findings from a Scoping Review and Stakeholder Consultation
H 0111Climate change exacerbates the risks associated with climate-sensitive infectious diseases (CSIDs) that have pandemic potential, posing additional threats to already vulnerable populations. Currently, there are critical evidence gaps and inadequate institutional and governance arrangements further impact on Africa’s ability to prepare for CSIDs. Our objective is to explore the role of economic evaluation and data-systems […]

Climate change and health in Latin America and the Caribbean: What the evidence can tell us
H 0111Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) are among the regions most affected by climate change. However, little evidence exists on its potential effects on individuals´ health. To fill this gap, this research aims to define the region's most critical developments in the study of economic costs of climate-sensitive infectious diseases and advances in the design, […]

Quantifying Climate Change Impacts on Waterborne Pathogen Diversity and Abundance in Africa: A Systematic Review
H 0111Africa, despite contributing minimally to global greenhouse gas emissions, disproportionately bears the brunt of climate change's consequences. This systematic review quantifies the impact of shifting climatic conditions on waterborne pathogen diversity and abundance in this ecologically diverse continent. We analyze 88 indexed research articles published between 1996 and 2024 using PRISMA guidelines. Key Findings: Increased […]

Maximizing climate and health co-benefits of climate action in low- and middle-income countries: Regional evidence mapping, priority research and policy agendas, and stakeholder mobilization
H 0111There are likely mutually reinforcing co-benefits from public action that seeks to integrate climate mitigation and adaption interventions with efforts to strengthen health systems. Given the breadth and overlap of climate-related risk factors, and the complexities in measuring, mitigating, and adapting to the climate crisis, the health sector response needs to be based on evidence […]

Indigenous food systems as pathways to nutrition, health and resilience
H 0111Reducing hunger and improving nutrition remain key developmental priorities in India, however, despite substantial economic prosperity, slow progress has been demonstrated. Poor nutrition levels are attributed to unhealthy diets which are calorie-dense, convenience-based and lacking in micronutrients. The challenge is exacerbated manifold for the poor and marginalised, more so amongst the indigenous communities inhabiting remote […]

Climate Change and Poverty Solutions: Mapping the integration of social protection policies and climate in LMICs
H 0111Social protection programs offer an important policy instrument to manage the poverty, inequality, and other social impacts of climate change. A large literature anecdotally documents the roles that cash transfers, public employment, and other social assistance and labor programs have played in managing both physical and transition risks arising from climate change (Costella et al., […]

How do savings groups influence resilience? Evidence from Nigeria
H 0111Women’s savings group programs are increasingly seen as an important strategy for advancing women’s economic empowerment and may have the potential to increase the resiliency of members and their communities to covariate shocks, such as climate change. While various studies have examined how savings groups have mitigated the effects of shocks, empirical evidence on resilience […]

Anticipatory cash transfers in the context of weather disasters: Evidence from a randomized controlled trial
H 0111Anticipatory humanitarian assistance is a novel approach to aid in the context of weather disasters, drawing on meteorological forecasts to predict risk. Using a randomized study design, we analyze the impact of anticipatory cash transfers distributed to pastoralist households in Mongolia during an extreme winter event. We do not find overall effects on livestock assets, […]

The Complications and Consequences of a Managed Retreat Law
H 0111Managed retreat, the relocation of households out of harm's way, was tried in New Zealand on an unusually large scale after the 2011 Christchurch earthquake, shifting almost 20,000 people in a well-compensated program of managed retreat. This presentation will focus on the empirical evidence about the economic and mental-health effects of this managed retreat on […]

The efficiency of cities in using land: A comparison of Africa and Asia
H 0111Inclusive and land use efficient urbanisation is crucial for achieving sustainable development, particularly in African and Asian cities that will have over 90 per cent of the total increase in the world’s urban population in the next three decades. Using density growth rate, as an alternative indicator to SDG11.3.1, in corroboration with 11 in-depth cases […]
