Mozambique is highly vulnerable to climate change. It faces frequent cyclones, floods, and droughts while having limited revenue collection capacity and social protection programmes. This paper assesses the distributional effects of climate shocks on household consumption and explores adaptation...

Von der Erreichung des Ziels der Klimaneutralität ist ein nicht unbeträchtlicher Teil der öffentlichen Steuereinnahmen betroffen. Es ist davon auszugehen, dass bis zu rund 3,8 Prozent des Steueraufkommens zukünftig verloren gehen könnten und weitere 3,9 Prozent, wenn bei den entsprechenden...

The Biden administration has been arguably the greenest in US history, but the polls show that there's about a fifty-fifty chance that he will be followed by one of the least climate-friendly presidents. So this November, the choice at the ballot box will be a stark one for climate policies,...

To achieve the agreed goals of the Paris Climate Agreement, Ireland has taken significant steps through its ambitious climate legislation. While setting climate policies is paramount to ensure a transition to a low carbon economy, creating a better understanding of the future climate, the...

This report provides an up-to-date overview of environment and climate in the Western Balkans (WB) highlighting existing gaps with respect to the EU acquis. The aim is to provide accurate and complete environmental information to monitor the progress in the accession process, as well as to...

This paper introduces the concept of "climate matching" as a driver of migration and establishes several new results. First, we show that climate strongly predicts the spatial distribution of immigrants in the US, both historically (1880) and more recently (2015), whereby movers select...

We establish the financial materiality of temperature variability by demonstrating its impact on US firms and investors. A long-short strategy that sorts firms based on exposure earns a market-adjusted alpha of 39 basis points per month. This variability metric is related to aggregate decreases...

High temperatures can have a negative effect on workplace safety for a variety of reasons. Discomfort and reduced concentration caused by heat can lead to workers making mistakes and injuring themselves. Discomfort can also be an incentive for workers to report an injury that they would not have...

The European continent is warming at more than twice the global average. The human and economic costs of higher temperature and more frequent and extreme natural disasters-already substantial in Europe-are expected to increase further unless suitable adaptation strategies are implemented. This...

This study explores the link between daily weather conditions and individual engagement in physical activities within the context of the climate emergency. Using ATUS data from 2003-2022, alongside detailed daily-county weather data, the research investigates their correlations. Results...

Firms' perceived cost of green capital has decreased since the rise of sustainable investing. Green and brown firms perceived their cost of capital to be the same before 2016, but after the post-2016 surge in sustainable investing, green firms perceived their cost of capital to be on average 1...

Montesquieus politische Klimatheorie findet in der Politikwissenschaft wenig Anerkennung. Sie gilt als abwegig. Wenn sie nicht ins Lächerliche gezogen wird, dann vor allem deshalb, weil sie in einer Tradition eurozentrischer und rassistischer Stereotypisierung und Rechtfertigung kolonialer...

In this paper, we explore the importance of accounting for climate when determining the impact of weather on product sales. Using a France-wide scanner panel dataset provided by our industry partner, we show that if climate is not accounted for, product categories may be misclassified as being...

Cohen and Dechezleprêtre (2022) investigate the heterogeneous impact of temperature on mortality across Mexico, and how affordable healthcare services that target the low-income population attenuate the mortality effects of weather events. They find that while extreme temperatures are more...

Impacts of climate change such as increased surface temperatures, changing precipitation patterns and prolonged draughts are becoming increasingly evident. People working on and with the land are most directly affected. To limit and manage those negative impacts, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions...

The main objective of this study is to map climate and energy-related initiatives and assess their usefulness for the LRAs, as well as to provide recommendations for the LRAs on how to improve the functioning of the initiatives in order to make them more transparent, user-friendly and helpful...

In this paper, we combine administrative data for continental Spain from 2010 to 2018 with meteorological data to identify the effect of temperature on fertility. We demonstrate that warm (25-30°C) and hot days (30°C) decrease total fertility rate (TFR) in Spain, and that the estimated...

This paper offers one of the first evidence in a developing country context that transitory exposure to high temperatures may disrupt low-stakes cognitive activities across a range of age cohorts. By matching eight years of repeated cognitive tests among all the participants in a nationally...

The latest generation of global climate models robustly projects that the summer monsoon rainfall in India will significantly increase in the 21st century due to global warming. This raises the question of the impact of these changes on the agricultural yield. Based on annual district data for...

We combine exogenous variation in temperature at the county-day level in the U.S. with daily time use data to examine the effect of temperature on joint time use. We show that low temperatures reduce time spent with friends but increase time spent with family. Conversely, high temperatures...

Our work is positioned at the intersection of migration and climate change-two key forces shaping the economic outlook of many countries. The analysis explores: (i) the relative importance of origincountry vs destination-country factors in explaining migration patterns; (ii) importance of...

As livelihoods in Niger still depend to a large extent on agricultural production, shocks related to climate change and insecurity present a threat for the country's development path and are the main sources of vulnerability for the population in rural areas. This paper uses data from the latest...

The latest generation of global climate models robustly projects that the summer monsoon rainfall in India will significantly increase in the 21st century due to global warming and that rainfall anomalies will occur more often. This raises the question of the impact of these changes on the...
