2
After 1990 Asian emissions have grown rapidly due to fast economic development SO 2 NO x GDP
3
Per-capita NO x emissions 1940-2030
5
Air pollution causes severe health impacts India, 2000 (Source: GAINS-India) Loss in statistical life expectancy from exposure to outdoor PM2.5 DALYs from air pollution
6
The economic projection of the Indian government provided by TERI CO 2 2000 = 100%
7
Air pollution will grow too despite the current Indian pollution control legislation 2000 = 100% SO 2 NO x PM2.5
8
Health impacts from PM2.5 in 2030 for governmental energy projection + current AQ legislation Loss in statistical life expectancy from exposure to outdoor PM2.5 DALYs from air pollution
9
CO 2 emissions Baseline projections with current measures, 2000 and 2030 CO 2 /capita GDP/capita Total CO 2 emissions
10
Combined AQ and CC measures: 1) Phase-out of solid fuels in domestic sector DALYs from air pollution CO 2 emissions
11
Combined AQ and CC measures: 2) End-of-pipe measures Level in 2000 Emissions from electricity generation in Andra Pradesh
12
Costs of electricity generation Andra Pradesh, 2030 (Source: GAINS-India)
13
Combined AQ and CC measures: 3) Sustainable energy systems Differences: 1 million ton less CO 2 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 Governmental energy baselineAlternative sustainability energy path Loss in statistical life expectancy from PM2.5 in 2020 (with current legislation on air pollution controls) Governmental energy baseline
14
Emission trends in China 1990-2005-2030
15
Costs of CO 2 reductions for China in 2020 and associated changes in air pollutants emissions
16
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.
