Gothenburg Protocol Review 2020: Emission Control Evaluation

The Executive Body's decision to review the Gothenburg Protocol in 2004 using 2015 and 2020 as target years, evaluating emission control options, costs, and uncertainties. Key elements include EMEP assessment, air pollution effects assessment, integrated modeling results, and future negotiation needs. Strategies emphasize robust scenarios, secondary benefits, transparency, and ensuring the adopted strategy is sound for improved air quality in the UNECE region.

Presentation Transcript

  1. The Executive Body decided: • To start the review of Gothenburg Protocol in 2004. • To use 2015 and 2020 as the target year. • To evaluate emission control options, their costs and their range of uncertainties.

  2. Basic elements for the review: • The EMEP assessment report to be prepared for 2003. • The substantive review and assessment report on air pollution effects and their recorded trends to be prepared for 2004. • The integrated assessment modelling results, including PMx, with a systematic approach to handle uncertainties.

  3. Needs for future negotiations: • Robust scenarios, including those on the develop-ments in transport, energy and agriculture until 2020. • To highlight secondary benefits as supplementary argument for policy makers (no regret strategy). • Transparency on what do we know or not know ? • To be convinced that nothing is wrong with the adopted strategy. The emission abatement reductions will bring with certainty an improvement of air quality in the UNECE region.
