 Climate Change Impact Estimates for South East AsiaJamie Sanderson and Sardar M. N. Islam Chapter 3 in Climate Change and Economic Development, 2007, pp 47-66 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract This chapter leads on from the discussions in Chapter 2 of the economic and climate change emission structure of SEA to make an aggregate estimate for the impact15 of 2×CO2 climate change for the region. It is based upon and expands on the preliminary estimates made for SEA in Sanderson and Islam (2001). As explained in Section 1.5, a 2×CO2 climate change aggregate impact estimate refers to a prediction of the extent of the economic effects of climate change given in terms of aggregate GDP for the future situation of the benchmark level of double pre-industrial atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Others have estimated the equivalent impacts for particular countries within SEA (Qureshi and Hobbie 1994) and have distinguished the SEA region as part of global estimates (Tol 1996). However, this is the first example (to the author’s knowledge) of an aggregate 2×CO2 climate impact assessment for the region of SEA which uses data specifically related to the region and not extrapolated solely from other regions.
