National Assessment of the Cost of Inaction of Tackling Air Pollution in Thailand

This assessment provides a preliminary quantification of the costs of not taking further action on air pollution in Thailand. It quantifies and compares the potential health costs in two alternative future scenarios, one in which no further measures beyond current policy are taken, with a future scenario in which 12 solutions (bundles of measures) are implemented. In addition to looking at health impacts, the assessment also highlights co-benefits for climate change that would be missed if further measures are not implemented.
