The Practical Guide on Integrating Air Pollution and Short-Lived Climate Pollutants into Climate Change Transparency Frameworks, developed as a joint effort by the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) and ICAT, aims to provide a practical approach for how countries can integrate the assessment and tracking of the climate change, air pollution and public health impacts of policies and actions int...

The Carbon Reduction Benefits on Health (CaRBonH) calculation tool allows quantification of the physical and economic consequences for human health achieved through improvements in country-level air quality from domestic carbon reductions, specifically policy mitigation actions and measures as reported in the NDCs submitted by the Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC in support of the objective...

This chapter presents a methodology that will enable the user, having knowledge of the source being controlled, to produce study-level estimates of the costs incurred by regulated entities for a control system applied to that source. The methodology, which applies to each of the control systems included in this Manual, is general enough to be used with other “add-on” systems as well. Further, the ...

Clean Air Asia, India, sponsored a study to the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur to prepare a knowledge product for MSMEs that will showcase the potential solutions that MSMEs could adopt. The solutions would also include a focus on marginalised/ vulnerable communities and policy recommendations for MSMEs. This report specifically examined the processes in different industries, housekee...

This scoping report synthesizes the authors’ initial work to understand the differentiated impacts of air pollution on workers in East and Southeast Asian countries and to identify evidence-based recommendations from regional case studies to help improve air quality and foster healthy employment in the context of just transitions towards a low-carbon economy....
