Thông tin chi tiết
Tóm tắt : | Climate change mitigation, air quality and health (CLIMAQ-H) is software developed by the WHO Regional Office for Europe for quantifying the consequences for human health and its related costs achieved by improving national air quality by reducing domestic carbon emissions. The tool is used to analyse the policies for mitigation of carbon emissions reported in nationally determined contributions submitted by the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. CLIMAQ-H can be used to assess the outcome of climate policies and to facilitate decision-making in settings with limited data availability. The methods used are based on evidence from epidemiological studies that show relations between average long-term air pollution concentrations and the mortality and morbidity risks of exposed populations. Assessment of the impact of carbon reduction scenarios is relevant for evaluating the consequences of policies or for screening hypothetical scenarios. The support of an epidemiologist or health impact assessment expert is recommended when setting up and interpreting the results of CLIMAQ-H. This manual introduces users to analysis of the impact of air pollution on public health with data from different countries. iv, 39 p. |
