Contribution of Working Group II to the Second Assessment Report
of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

Published for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

CAMBRIDGE

Q22. On page 13 of your written testimony you also state the following:

“A study of deaths associated with summer time heat stress and winter time illnesses in 44 U.S. cities estimated that climate change could double the number of weather-related deaths. The elderly are at greatest risk in the U.S., and urban populations in developing countries are also especially vulnerable to heat stress."

Please provide a copy of this study.

A22. The study of weather related deaths referred to in the testimony is L.S. Kalkstein and J.S. Greene, “An evaluation of climate/mortality relationships in large U.S. cities and the possible impacts of a climate change," Environmental Health Perspectives, volume 105, no. 1, January 1997.
