Climate change will have a huge impact on population health outcomes in terms of morbidity, mortality, and disability.
Via direct and indirect impacts, the economic cost of climate change on human health will be substantial globally.
To date, research has addressed the economic cost associated with the health impact of climate change remains fragmented and focuses on single country analysis.
Develop an internally consistent summary measure of the economic burden of climate change regarding morbidity, disability, and mortality for physical and mental conditions.

Considerations:
Think about direct and indirect climate burdens, for example:
The Lancet COVID-19 Commission was launched on July 9, 2020 to assist governments, civil society, and the United Nations institutions to respond effectively to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Commission aims to offer practical solutions to the four main global challenges posed by the pandemic: suppressing the pandemic by means of pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions; overcoming humanitarian emergencies, including poverty, hunger, and mental distress, caused by the pandemic; restructuring public and private finances in the wake of the pandemic; and rebuilding the world economy in an inclusive, resilient, and sustainable manner aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Climate Agreement. There are many creative solutions already being implemented, and a key aim of the Commission is to accelerate their adoption worldwide.
