Quantification of air quality co–benefits from climate change mitigation measures

This technical report examines a range of possible measures for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and assesses potential co-benefits and co-costs through changed public health effects and costs through changed air pollution emissions. The analysis puts a dollar value on air pollution emissions from activities producing CO₂ (other greenhouses gases have little or no air quality impacts). It focuses on how energy use in three main sectors – domestic, vehicle, and industry – affects health costs in New Zealand.
