Resumo(s)
Throughout the years, we have seen how populations and countries with growing economies have
increased in their population. Countries able to control their consumption and resources can keep a
steady and stable growth in in spite of the increase in population without issue. However, countries
that lack the resources to maintain the increased population are forced to implement laws and
regulations to reduce their population. We have also seen a huge rise in climate change due to various
man-made mistakes, which have caused the loss of various crops and natural resources. In simple
terms, we are pushing the planet to its limit, and soon enough it will break, and we will see the effects
of our irreversible destruction. A study conducted jointly by Spanish, French, and Swiss researchers
showed that an increase in temperature will shorten the life expectancy in Europe in the next century
by three or four months, which will result in approximately 15,000 more deaths per year. This shows
that the Mediterranean arc areas such as Spain, Italy, and Portugal are in the worst positions and will
feel the worst of these effects. “The geographical position of the Peninsula places it in a particularly
weak condition. The impact on mortality will be greater and it will begin to be noticed earlier than in
the rest of the continent” (Serra, et al, 2018). The relevance of this paper is that it demonstrates the
relationship between climate change and life expectancy in a more statistical manner and its effects
on the economy, specifically pension funds. This finding shows that if there are no climate change
policies established, it will not only cause lives to be lost but also affect the economic playing field
owing to the lack of this important factor in life expectancy models.
