Scope

Question

What are potential climate policies that reach the greenhouse emission targets in the city of Kuopio for years 2010-2030? What are their effects on health and well-being, and what recommendations can be given based on this? The national greenhouse emission target is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20 % between 1990 and 2020; the city of Kuopio has its own, more ambitious target of 40 % for the same time period.

Boundaries

  • Time: Year 2010 - 2030
  • Spatial: Activities in Kuopio, Finland. Health and well-being effects due to policies anywhere, e.g. fine particle emissions in Kuopio increase cardiovascular mortality all over Finland.

Scenarios

  • Two scenarios for each climate policy (which have not been defined yet): policy is A) implemented, B) not implemented.

Intended users

  • The city of Kuopio.
  • Other cities in Urgenche.
  • Urgenche researchers are users from the methodological point of view.

Participants

  • Main participants:
    • City of Kuopio: Erkki Pärjälä, Mikko Savastola
    • THL: Marjo Niittynen, Jouni Tuomisto, Matti Jantunen.
  • Other participants:
    • University of Exeter
    • Universität Stuttgart
    • Other Urgenche research groups
    • Other Urgenche cities

Answer

Results

Not yet available.

Conclusions

The target of 40 % GHG reduction seems to be unrealistically ambitious.

Rationale

This diagram is just a placeholder. A new file should be uploaded, because this is about another assessment.

Analyses

  • Decision analysis on each policy: Which option minimises the health risks?
  • Value-of-information analysis for each policy about the major variables in the model and the total VOI.
