An assessment of the economic impact of climate change on the health sector in Guyana

The present paper provides relevant data and analyse information pertaining to the health sector, to estimate the costs of identified and anticipated effects with and without the impacts associated with climate change. It also undertakes an economic analysis of the effects of climate change-related impacts on the health sector in Guyana over the next 40 years, based on various carbon emissions trajectories under a BAU scenario and two other scenarios (A2 and B2 as defined by IPCC) with certain adaptation and mitigation measures.
