Internalising Health-Economic Impacts of Air Pollution into Climate Policy: A Global Modelling Study

  • 1. RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment, Italy

Description

Climate change and air pollution are two major societal problems. Their complex interplay calls for an advanced evaluation framework that can support decision making. Previous assessments have looked at the cobenefits of climate policies for air pollution, but few have optimised air pollution benefits. In our study, we lay out a modelling framework that internalises air pollution's economic impacts on human mortality, while considering climate constraints and aerosol feedback.
