Healthcare Finance and Climate Risk
Abstract
This paper examines the impact of climate risk on health expenditure.Using pooled regression analysis across multiple countries, the study finds that higher climate risk, measured through carbon dioxide emissions and other proxies, generally leads to a significant increase in health expenditure.The results suggest that climate-related adversity contributes to the rising medical expenses and strains the healthcare budget.This study recommends proactive investment in climate-resilient healthcare infrastructure and mitigating climate risk to prevent long-term costs and ensure sustainability in healthcare access.
