Cost Benefit Analysis
European Consortium for Modelling of Air Pollution and Climate Strategies (EC4MACS), 2007-2010
This EU LIFE funded project brings together a consortium of institutions, including AEA and other members of the CAFE CBA consortium, to build and maintain a network of well established modelling tools for a comprehensive integrated assessment of the policy effectiveness of emission control strategies for air pollutants and greenhouse gases.
Objective of Task 8: Benefits Assessment
To quantify the health and environmental benefits of emission control strategies in monetary terms.
