Toepassingen Milieuschadekosten zijn een monetaire indicator van milieuimpacts die kunnen gebruikt worden : om verschillende milieu-impacts samen te vatten en te wegen in één enkele indicator. Om verschillende technologieën, lokaties, brandstoffen ed. te vergelijken. Emissies naar lucht Directe impacts zoals geluid in kosten-baten analyses van beleidsopties kosten-baten van emissiereducties taxering van brandstoffen, nieuwe technologiën internalisatie van externe kosten 6

Economic valuation Valuation based on societal preferences, measured by means of willingness to pay of the individuals (man in the street ) for environmental goods or services differs from valuation schemes based on e. g. expert judgements or policy decisions Willingness to pay is measured by : Revealed preferences : – market prices – prices from related markets : e. g. differences in house prices for a less noisy neighbourhood Stated preferences : – Contingent Valuation = questionnaire approaches 10

Discounting Difficult issue in welfare economics No reason to use different discount rates for environment then for similar policy questions No agreement on one best social discount rate to use so we use a set of discount rates Discount rate has different components discount rate = time preference + opportunity cost of capital within one generation : 1% and 3 % future generations : no time preference : 0 % to 1. 5 % 14

Overview of impacts covered 1 Air pollutants : detailed assessment and valuation for J Public Health : dominant impact category, shows the importance of impacts from particles, aerosols and other pollutants on public health, for some quantification remains uncertain 18
Impacts on public health Air pollution kills ? – acute and mid term impacts form very small particles on mortality – relevant for PM, ammonium sulphates and nitrates – based on epidemiological studies Relative big impacts – linear dose-effect function – no threshold at population level – small increments x large population affected = large impact for PM Big uncertainties for mortality impacts from PM: – – biological mechanism ? is PM 2. 5 and particle mass the right indicator for a mix of pollut. ? Quantification (esp. chronic mortality ) monetary valuation 19
Valuation of public health impacts Morbidity – cost of illness (market prices ) + labour loss + suffering (questionnaire studies) – data available for all endpoints – smaller impacts are very important – consistent with DALY approach Mortality – we do not value life, but a change in risk of dying earlier – a lot of studies on ‘value of a statistical life’ : mid estimate for EU is 3. 4 million EURO = 140 X GDP/capita – for air pollution impacts : the right approach is to value the years of life lost. Value of a year of life lost in Extern. E : 100. 000 Euro – issues not accounted for : age dependent (? ), context, quality of life years lost – more specific studies are needed, aimed at air pollution issues 20
Overview of impacts covered 1 Air pollutants : detailed assessment and valuation for J Public Health : dominant impact category, shows the importance of impacts from particles, aerosols and other pollutants on public health, for some quantification remains uncertain J Agriculture : not controversial but not complete (valuable crops) J Materials : not complete, (soiling, stock at risk, historic buildings) K Ozone impacts : hard to model, big difference between marginal and aggregated analysis (for NOx for Belgium ) L Ecological impacts : impacts on critical loads can be quantified, but impacts hard be monetise and data transfer 21
Overview of impacts covered 2 K Global Warming : positive and negative impacts : range of data is available, large uncertainties, importance of assumptions blanks : not all impacts-categories are included, data limited to impacts to 2100 or 2200 Water and soil, some air pollutants Exposure assessment, Toxicity rankings and expert panel valuation FAs our understanding chances, data need to be updated FComparisons between pollutants, impacts may be difficult FCombine valuation with sustainability indicators 22
Lokale versus regionale impacts 23
Uncertainty analysis Types of uncertainty Parametric uncertainty of models, dose-response functions, : add lower and upper boundaries uncertainty in emissions, traffic data monte carlo analysis transferability and applicability of data, d-r functions, … sensitivity analysis importance of blanks in the analysis add sustainability indicators Uncertainty in policy studies stratified uncertainty analysis 24

Conclusions on air pollution Air pollution Externalities of transport can be significant the total annual environmental air pollution damage cost of Belgian passenger traffic is estimated to be about 1. 25 % of GDP. primary and secondary particles are the dominant source of impacts, 2010 : air quality problem solved ? • PM : no threshold : what is the acceptable level ? • Is particle mass the right indicator ? • Impacts not quantified will remain important – acidification and eutrofication : above critical loads for Belgium – ozone : peak levels controlled but not the background level – global warming Uncertainty analysis other methods, sustainability indicators needed 40

Cost benefit analysis SO 2 abatement 49
Cost benefit of air pollution in Europe A combination of sustainability indicators (critical loads ) and environmental benefits for public health was used to assess costs and benefits for the new protocol on long range air pollution in Europe. Context : multi-pollutant - multi effect analysis The costs to reduce around 50 % of the exceedance of critical loads for acidification, eutrophication and ozone were compared with the public health benefits in monetary terms of these measures (mostly PM related benefits) For most countries : benefits > costs Cost benefit analysis based on stratified uncertainty analysis Future : include PM analysis in multi-pollutant protocols Need other ways to take account of sustainability indicators 50
Conclusions on cost benefit analysis Benefit estimation : to use or not to use ? J J J L For a number of air pollutants, data are available F F F Data should not be used as a ‘black box’ figure based on ‘state of the art’ of our understanding of issues and they offer added value for decision making there are important blanks (esp. ecological impacts) and uncertainties uncertainty & sensitivity analysis in function of context of use ; data can be completed, but not mixed-up, with other indicators 51
conclusies : milieu-economie Vraag naar identificatie en kwantificatie van de baten van milieubeleid is terecht, en brengt vooral duidelijkheid in het debat, ook over de grenzen van ons weten Veel vragen draaien rond wat we willen betalen voor de beheersing van risico’s van milieuverontreinging en (milieu-)economie kan hier nog verder een bijdrage brengen 52
