Co-control: Actions after co-benefits Hu Tao Policy Research Center for Environment and Economy(PRCEE), SEPA Haakon Vennemo ECON analysis Oct. 17-19, 2004, Oslo Outline Demand of SEPA, China Review of co-benefits Concept of co-control Design of co-control policy Demand of SEPA Niche of SEPA in the field of climate change As a key demander of co-benefits study Demand-driven questions after measurement of co-benefits What should do? How should do? Review of co-benefits GHGs Co-benefits Pollution control Policy intervention Impact analysis Review of co-benefits Evolution of co-benefit studies • Stage 1 pre-co-benefit period: local pollution control policy and climate change policy are thought independent; • Stage 2 co-benefit measurement period: it’s realized that local pollution and GHGs are linked to each other and efforts to measure co-benefits are made. • Stage 3 co-benefit impact analysis period: co-benefit impacts on local pollution control policy and GHG policy are analyzed. Review of co-benefits Evolution of co-benefit studies Stage 4: policy interventions? • Co-control as one of the policy interventions Concept of co-control Objective: to maximize net co-benefits (cobenefits minus control costs) Target: both local pollution and GHGs. Ways: to actively control both GHGs and local pollutants together Concept of co-control There are different level co-controls co-control measures at micro technical level co-control action with varies co-control measures combination at project level co-control plans with co-control projects and programs combination at macro policy level Design of co-control policy Design co-control policy at regional/national level Combination of different co-control technical measures as well as projects/programs to reach maximum of co-benefits at macro regional/national level Design of co-control policy Design Maximizing net benefits Total Cost of all control measures Benefits of both air pollution and GHGs as well as other benefits Budget constrains Design of co-control policy Total Emission Control (TEC) as an example Background of existing TEC • A major current pollution control policy of China • Cap for 12 local pollutants, including water, air and solid wastes Possible co-benefits • Estimation of air pollution control benefits • Estimation of carbon reduction Re-design of TEC • add GHG as a new control goal • China and the world would gain more co-benefits • Combination of energy efficiency measures, low carbon technology measures etc. Design of co-control policy Policy simulation Re-designed policy behaves Maximizing the net benefits Discussion!
