As DEFRA announced on October 5th, 2005: Our climate is changing and there is already compelling evidence that animals and plants have been affected. We conducted a literature review and consulted experts through a specially organised international workshop to identify the range of climate change impacts and to consider how migrant populations could be affected by these changes.

The study draws from numerous published sources to summarize the current state of climate science and provide a conceptual framework for addressing climate change as an economic problem.

Our aim was to investigate the potential effects of global climate change on human health, and in particular, on the transmission of vector-borne diseases. We modelled the reported global distribution of dengue fever on the basis of vapour pressure, which is a measure of humidity. We assessed changes in the geographical limits of dengue fever transmission, and in the number of people at risk of dengue by incorporating future climate change and human population projections into our model.

At its 8th session in June 1998, the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA-8) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), encouraged the IPCC-OECD-IEA Inventories Programme to give high priority to completing its work on uncertainty, as well as to prepare a report on good practices in inventory management and to submit a report on these issues for consideration by the SBSTA, if possible by COP5. This report is the IPCC’s (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) response to the SBSTA.
