Human Health and Wellbeing

With the growing importance of the health and climate interface in the international and national policy arena, there is a rising demand for robust, policy-relevant projections of health risks under climate and development pathways. The IAMC Scientific Working Group (SWG) on Human health and wellbeing brings together integrated assessment modelers, global health researchers, climate impact modellers, economists, policy experts, to advance health-climate science as a high-priority area for the IAMC community. The SWG aims to coordinate the incorporation of health-relevant indicators into IAMs and scenario frameworks, facilitate the uptake of those scenarios by the health research community, and support the development, intercomparison and quality assurance of health-focused model development and extensions.
