When estimating economic and welfare effects from climate change, impact models must make broad assumptions because of a lack data the complexity damage mechanisms. In this paper, we apply novel approach to try address issue. We use an experienced utility measure how extreme heat affects subjective wellbeing. The comes life evaluation question collected on nationally representative surveys covering 160 countries, conducted annually for 13 years. take advantage 40 years variation in daily land surface temperature data, finding that one additional exceptionally hot day significantly lowers wellbeing, by roughly 0.5% average. This is equivalent wellbeing loss resulting GDP decreasing several percentage points. effect size varies substantially between, within, highlighting importance having local data. Further, analyze source damages, looking at income non-income pathways. Suprisingly, find pathways accounts only small proportion damages caused temperatures. indicates current focus are likely missing sources climate-caused damages.

Human activities like greenhouse gas emissions, pollution, and deforestation are largely responsible for climate change biodiversity loss. The is a complex system scientists striving to predict, prevent, address the aforementioned issues in order avoid reaching tipping points. threat humankind not only physical (ie, heat waves, floods, droughts) but also psychological, especially some groups. Insecurity, danger, chaos, an unstable due have both short- long-term psychological effects. In this scenario, need new categories emerging, namely, eco-emotions psychoterratic syndromes which include eco-anxiety, ecological grief, worry, trauma. This paper focuses on these categories, presenting summary of each one, including definitions, hypotheses, questions, testological evaluations, as useful tool be consulted by researchers clinicians help them therapeutic work.
