dc.description.abstract | An integrated strategy for urban Air Quality Management adopts a
hierarchical approach – graduating from micro to macro-level management of
the problem. The paper provides a conceptual framework, and analyses it in the
Indian context through energy-environment modelling and local-level studies.
The key insights from the analysis are:
• technology transfers from developed countries promote environmentally
sustainable development
• conjoint markets for greenhouse gas and local pollutant mitigation
optimises costs and generates co-benefits
• a mixed policy regime, including market instruments, is preferable to pure
technology-push policies as it can deliver technology-equivalent benefits
at lower costs
• an independent environment regulatory authority would reduce risks of
institutional failures and lower transaction costs. | |
