Zusammenfassung/Abstract

Floods, wildfires, heatwaves, migration, and premature deaths linked to climate change are making the headlines more than ever before. Current policies put us on track to an average temperature increase way beyond the IPCC recommendation of 1.5°C with devastating consequences for human health and the ecosystem. In her talk, Laure de Preux will provide an overview of the health implications of climate change, a discussion of some of the empirical challenges, and propose a possible solution towards sustainability using examples from her work. She will review the latest evidence and present research that illustrates how pathways between climate change, the environment and health can be identified and quantified. To contextualize the role of environmental policies, she will review the design and impacts of the European Emission Trading Scheme, and how its benefits and co-benefits associated with health can be quantified. Finally, Laure de Preux will propose a change in perspective as one of the solutions toward more inclusive and sustainable approaches and apply it to the context of economic evaluation in healthcare.
