These effects might operate directly via the role of geography (including climate) as a fundamental determinant of relative prosperity, or indirectly, by modifying the environmental context in which political and economic institutions evolve. It considers potential mechanisms from climate change on long-run economic development that have been relatively neglected, including for instance the effects on income distribution and political power. Section 3 focuses on indirect effects, beginning with the role of institutions in the process of development.application/pdfenCLIMATE CHANGE VULNERABILITYECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTPOLITICAL WILLSOCIO-POLITICAL ENVIRONMENTGLOBAL SOUTHINSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKJournal Article (peer-reviewed)
