Combined AQ and CC measures:3) Sustainable energy systems Loss in statistical life expectancy from PM2.5 in 2020 (with current legislation on air pollution controls) Governmental energy baseline Alternative sustainability energy path Governmental energy baseline Differences: 1 million ton less CO2 emissions/year in 2020 7 billion $/yr less control costs for air pollution 8 months life expectancy or 10 million life years gained per year
Costs of CO2 reductions for China in 2020and associated changes in air pollutants emissions
Conclusions • In addition to “conventional” air pollution problems from industrial sources, AQ impacts from poverty add an additional burden in developing countries. • Interactions between air pollution and GHG mitigation are equally relevant for developing countries. Well-selected measures to improve local air quality in the near term can deliver co-benefits on GHG emissions.
