Abstract
This study estimates ancillary effects of climate change mitigation actions on emissions of air pollutants and short-lived climate pollutants (SLCP) as well as cost accompanying introduction of countermeasures. The results indicate that climate change mitigation actions which can be introduced under 125 USD/tCO2 of carbon price inhibit emissions of SO2, PM2.5 and BC below the level of base year, and simultaneous implementation of climate change mitigation actions and countermeasures for air pollution can reduce cost of actions corresponding to 0.12% of cumulative GDP till 2050 as ancillary effects. At the same time, the results indicate that increase of biomass consumption as climate change mitigation actions has potential to increase in emissions of air pollutants and SLCP. In order to investigate optimal pathways of greenhouse gas, air pollutants and SLCP, it is required to take into account the viewpoints of not only low carbon but also health impact, climate change, etc.
