“…Lazo et al (2011) confirmed it to be the second most weather sensitive sector of the US economy, following mining, with 12.1% of output being exposed to weather. Within the EU project "Weather Impacts on Natural, Social and Economic Systems -WISE", the impact of weather on agriculture has been studied in the United Kingdom (Subak et al 2000), Netherlands (Tol 2000), Germany (Flechsig et al 2000) and Italy (Galeotti et al 2004).…”

Abstract:Weather aff ects the economies worldwide and all economic sectors are to some extent weather sensitive. Agriculture is traditionally highly weather sensitive. While the catastrophic impact of weather has been long recognized, studied and managed the non-catastrophic weather risk gains in importance as the climate change becomes more pronounced. Weather derivatives provide a fl exible management solution for the non-catastrophic weather risk. Th e paper presents weather derivatives as a new weather risk management tool and reviews and discusses the eff ectiveness of their application in agriculture.

“…The results of the WISE project (Galeotti et al, 2004) highlight how extremely hot summers reduce tourism inflow to Italian regions on average by 1.22%, using data for the period 1986-1995. According to Gambarelli and Goria (2004) this has translated to a slight increase for coastal areas.…”

SummaryIn this paper, the economic value of the impacts of climate change is assessed for different Italian economic sectors and regions. Sectoral and regional impacts are then aggregated to provide a macroeconomic estimate of variations in GDP induced by climate change in the next decades. Autonomous adaptation induced by changes in relative prices and in stocks of natural and economic resources is fully taken into account. The model also considers international trade effects. Results show that in Italy aggregate GDP losses induced by climate change are likely to be small. However, some economic sectors (e.g. tourism) and the alpine regions will suffer significant economic damages.

Footprints of climate change in US national park visitation

Climate change has driven many organisms to shift their seasonal timing. Are humans also shifting their weather-related behaviors such as outdoor recreation? Here we show that peak attendance in US national parks experiencing climate change has shifted 4 days earlier since 1979. Of the nine parks experiencing significant increases in mean spring temperatures, seven also exhibit shifts in the timing of peak attendance. Of the 18 parks without significant temperature changes, only 3 exhibit attendance shifts. Our analysis suggests that humans are among the organisms shifting behavior in response to climate change.
