Thematic Strategy on Air Pollution (Costs & Benefits of Policy Scenarios) TFIAM-BerlinMay 2005 Duncan Johnstone Clean Air & Transport Unit DG Environment
Important Caveats • The proposed content of the Thematic Strategy on air pollution is currently subject to the internal decision making procedures of the Commission. • There are no guarantees that: • There will be any strategy at all; • That the policy scenarios presented here will ultimately be the basis of the Thematic Strategy
Acknowledgments • The analysis of benefits/costs has been performed by AEA Technology, EMRC & the Catholic University of Leuven (Paul Watkiss, Mike Holland, Denise Van Regermorter) • All reports of the CBA methodology, results and uncertainty analysis are/will be available on the CIRCA website • http://forum.europa.eu.int/Public/irc/env/cafe_baseline/library?l=/reference_documents_1/analysis_methodology&vm=detailed&sb=Title • http://forum.europa.eu.int/Public/irc/env/cafe_baseline/library?l=/reference_documents_1/cafe_baseline&vm=detailed&sb=Title
Damage costs - baseline • CAFE Baseline report 2000-2020http://forum.europa.eu.int/Members/irc/env/cafe_baseline/library?l=/reference_documents_1/cafe_baseline&vm=detailed&sb=Title • Human health impacts monetised • PM, O3 mortality and morbidity • Damage to crops and materials monetised • Ecosystem impacts quantified but not monetised

Baseline Results(4) Monetised Health Benefits NB. Monetised damages to crops and materials are € 3.9 and 2.2 billion in 2000 and 2020.
Benefits and Costs above the Baseline in Billion/year Net benefits increase from low - high different ambition levels – but declining BC: Ratio All scenarios (except baseline) include road transport measures, based on EMEP output with urban increment applied from IIASA Note excludes impacts on ecosystems
