International efforts of greenhouse gas mitigation to prevent climate change reduce not only emission of greenhouse gases, but emission of the pollutants such as SO2, NOx, CO, PM, and O3. These pollutants are known to be responsible for the negative impact on human health and ecosystem. Ancillary benefits and costs should be included in the calculation of net benefit of greenhouse gas mitigation policies. Ancillary benefit, on the one hand, directly affects the optimal level of greenhouse gas mitigation. On the other hand, the size of ancillary benefit could play a crucial role in adopting greenhouse gas mitigation policies, especially for the Non-Annex I countries because ancillary benefits are directly realized in the country implementing those policies.
Ancillary benefit is estimated using both top-down approach and bottum-up approach. Most of ancillary benefit result from benefits related to the health effect. However, ancillary benefits are estimated quite differently between studies. Ancillary benefits in Europe are estimated from $300/TC to $600/TC, while in USA they are estimated from $3/TC to $300/TC. In the developing countries ancillary benefits vary in the range of $6/TC to $300/TC. Differences in the population density, and the exposure rate are partially responsible for the difference in the size of estimated ancillary benefits. However the main source of difference in the estimates are related to the baseline, methodological differences in monetization of the benefits among others.
Despite the importance of ancillary benefits is of no doubt, it is too early to argue that the size of ancillary benefit is sufficient to offset the greenhouse gas mitigation cost such as decrease in GDP and the employment rate. Estimation of ancillary benefits could be improved by incorporating geographical and time factors and the differences in environmental and industrial policies. Further improvement could be made by maintainaing consistency in assumptions and application of the methods.
In conclusion, it is necessary to take action to collect basic database of the pollutants and health, for example, morbidity and mortality rate for the estimation and the analysis of ancillary benefits of greenhouse gas mitigation policies using a economic- environmental model.
