The meta-level research question: What is a good scope for this assessment such that

  • it relates to the impacts of climate change mitigation policies,
  • it may relate to the impacts of climate change as such,
  • the assessment covers a wide range of existing assessments within Intarese, Heimtsa, Hiwate, USTUTT, and KTL,
  • the assessment has direct policy relevance for a high-profile policy process, e.g. COP-15 (Dec 2009) or Conference of Environment and Health Ministers of Europe (early 2010?),
  • the parts of the assessment have shared parts, such as population data, future trends of climate, and/or international policies such as emission trade systems,
  • the assessment shows clear synergism in working collaboratively between its parts?

Ideas about common issues

WP3.1 Transport

  • Topic is to study environmentally friendly zones (limiting car driving) or congestion charge zones within cities.
  • Case cities are Rome, London, the Hague, Helsinki, Barcelona
  • Impacts: PM2.5 and health; greenhouse gas emissions, traffic noise and health and annoyance.
  • Shared variables (possibly)
    • PM2.5 emission
    • PM2.5 exposure
    • PM2.5 ERF
    • CO2 emission
  • Shared frameworks:
    • City-level assessment


WP3.4 Drinking water

  • Topic is to study health impacts of As (cancer) and trihalomethanes (THM; cancer, birth defects) in drinking water.
  • Case countries: Spain, Finland, Hungary, Romania, United Kingdom.
  • Impacts assessed:
    • CC impacts on runoff and contamination of raw water
    • CC impacts on availability of raw water
    • Shift from bottled water to tap water as a means to reduce the ecological footprint and CC change of drinking water.
  • Shared frameworks:
    • City-level assessment (or rather: waterworks-level assessment)
