CHI Director and Associate Professor of Environmental and Occupational Health, Dr. Susan Anenberg, co-authored a paper published in Environmental Health Perspectives, entitled 'Guidelines for Modeling and Reporting Health Effects of Climate Change Mitigation Actions.' The Health Effects of Mitigation (HEM) are a valuable component of climate mitigation plans, one that can drive more ambitious and health-protective action, yet incompatible approaches to developing and reporting HEM have limited their utility. This publication details guidance for modeling studies on population health effects in climate change mitigation actions to make them more useful for policymakers in the future. The authors generated a checklist of recommendations focused on elements of stakeholder engagement, including modeling, parameterization and reporting, uncertainty and sensitivity analysis, accounting for policy uptake, and discounting.
