Discussion paper on Climate Change and Mortality Session #1

Climate change will have significant and wide-ranging effects around the world. One important impact is on the mortality of the population.

The Resources and Environment Working Group of the International Actuarial Association (IAA) has developed a discussion paper on Climate Change and Mortality, which discusses some of the possible future impacts on the total global population, particularly vulnerable population segments and the portion of the population covered by insurance and retirement programs. The paper includes a summary of some of the leading research done by major organizations around the world and aims to raise the awareness of actuaries and others regarding the key effects of climate change on mortality.
