Climate policy in Western Europe and avoided costs of air pollution control

Goal and technology path of CO2 mitigation in China's cement industry: from the perspective of co-benefit

“…Except recognizing the absolute values of LAP reduction as a type of co-benefit, majority of related research conduct "air-health pathway" to evaluate improvement of human health, either in physical item (Rydal et al, 2007) or monetary item (Cifuentes et al, 1999;Dessus and O'connor, 2003;Aunan et al, 2004). Additionally, cost saving relevant to air pollution control is another type of co-benefits induced by air pollution reductions which attracts attention mainly from studies in Europe (Alcamo et al, 2002;van Vuuren et al, 2006;Rive, 2010).…”

Reduction of CO 2 emission and non-environmental co-benefits of bicycle infrastructure provision: the case of the University of Novi Sad, Serbia

“…However, most of the studies estimated both, potential for the reduction of air pollution and CO 2 emissions. In order to identify opportunity for environmental co-benefits, a great number of the studies used scenario analysis for estimation or projection of the benefits [39,41,44,48,[53][54][55][56]. For example, Macmillan et al [41] used system dynamics modeling to simulate five scenarios related to policies that intend to increase bicycle commuting over the next 40 years in Auckland, New Zealand.…”

Health co-benefits of climate mitigation in urban areas

“…CGE models use large systems of simultaneous equations, along with data describing inputs and outputs for all modeled sectors, to simulate the effect of policy changes on an economy. For example, Bollen et al [15] and Rive [16] each use CGE models to compute dynamically efficient CO 2 reduction programs with and without health cobenefits for Europe. This approach illuminates the synergy between GHG mitigation goals and air quality control, but the policy relevance of the resulting optimal pathways remains untested.…”
