SUMMARY:Secondary Health Benefits of Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptat

CONTACT:Dr G Moller
DESCRIPTION:Measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions can also bring abo
 ut\nreductions in emissions of particulates\, nitrogen oxides and sulfur\n
 oxides. These latter reductions bring improvements in public health in\nre
 gard to morbidity and mortality. These "secondary benefits" are\nsignifica
 nt in and of themselves\, but they also bring a decline in\nhealth care co
 sts and a rise in GDP. As a result\, climate change\nmitigation measures i
 n the developing world\, especially in mega\ncities\, are increasingly jus
 tified by linking them to public health\nmeasures that might be required e
 ven in the absence of risks from\nclimate change.\n\n\nThis talk is part o
 f a one-day conference: Climate Change and Health\, see www.cambridgeclima
