- Description:
- Human health is significantly impacted by extreme weather-related events. Heat waves, floods, drought, and wildfires increase the risk of heat-related illness, respiratory illness, infectious diseases, mental health disorders, and even loss of life. Climate change will lead to more frequent and intense weather-related events in Idaho. This report examines the impacts of climate change on Idahoans’ health and the economy and is organized into five sections: (1) an overview of climate change impacts on health and related economic models and measures; (2) climate impacts on health and wellbeing from air pollution, temperature, allergens, water, vector-borne diseases, and more, as well as economic impacts, when possible; (3) populations most vulnerable to climate-related health impacts and potential economic impacts; (4) opportunities to prepare for climate impacts on health; and (5) summary.
