NBER WORKING PAPER SERIES UNCERTAINTY, CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE GLOBAL ECONOMY

... Uncertainty about future climate change is an unavoidable fact. It is commonplace to gauge this uncertainty by simulations with different climate models. This is the approach taken, e.g., by the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2001, 2007) to highlight our imprecise knowledge about the r ...

Climate change and poverty

In an ever-progressing world with an increasing demand for energy, it is difficult to avoid climate change and its impacts on societies both locally and globally. Climate change affects social development factors, such as, poverty, infrastructure, technology, security, and economics across the globe. Although climate change affects everything we see around us, the interrelation between climate change and social vulnerability and inequality is particularly evident in impoverished communities. In particular, impoverished communities experience reductions in safe drinking water as well as food security as a result of climate change (OECD 2013). These typically rural, isolated communities do not exhibit sufficient financial and technical capacities to manage the risks associated with climate change (climate risk) (Skoufias 2012). Energy development and policy alteration could adjust the severity of climate change impacts; this is being tested now, as renewable energy sources develop.
