Abstract: Assessing the impact of climate change on socio-economic factors is a critical research area for conducting comprehensive assessment modeling and designing optimal emissions reduction paths. It is also one of the weak links in current research. Given the difficulty of evaluating the impact of climate change on socio-economic factors through large-scale randomized controlled experiments, researchers typically use historical observation data and empirical research methods such as statistics or econometrics to conduct impact assessments. In this paper, research progress in this area was summarized, including studies on the impact of climate change on production activities, consumption behavior, human capital, and resident health, as well as research on climate adaptation behavior. The key modeling techniques for impact assessment were obtained and the uncertainty of research conclusions was discussed from aspects such as weather-climate effects, data scale, and model settings. It is recommended that future research should broaden the research field and region of climate impact, further explore the nonlinear features of climate impact, strengthen the assessment research of climate adaptation, and focus on improving data quality and data acquisition to deepen research on the socio-economic impact of climate change.
