QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF IMPACTS ON CHINA'S CLIMATE CHANGE POLICY FROM CO-BENEFITS OF MITIGATION TECHNOLOGIES BY APPLYING AIM/LOCAL CHINA MODEL

Co-benefits for improving local environment that result from greenhouse gas mitigation policies and measures are analyzed in details in the IPCC Third Assessment Report.Meanwhile,studies on co-benefits for greenhouse gas reduction that result from domestic environmental proˉtection policies and measures are still very rare.Co-benefits of the later type is more appropriate to indicate the real situation in developing countries.Based on a linear programming model(AIM-LOCAL/China)for energy,environmental and economic assessment,this paper presents quantitaˉtive analysis of these co-benefits resulting from mitigation technologies,where Beijing is selected as a case city.Current and future technology development,policies for local environmental proˉtection and future economic development are the key elements under consideration.This paper also presents suggestions on China's climate change policy-making.
