The Climate change mitigation, air quality and health (CLIMAQ-H) calculation tool allows quantification of the physical and economic consequences for human health achieved through improvements in country-level air quality from domestic carbon reductions, specifically policy mitigation actions and measures as reported in the NDCs submitted by the Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC in support of the objectives as set out in Article 2 of the Convention.
CLIMAQ-H has a user-friendly interface that has been developed for the 53 Member States in the European Region and it quantifies the health and related economic gains from implementation of the NDCs. Such a tool can be used as a mechanism to assess the outcome of climate-driven policies and to promote decision-making in settings where there is limited data availability.
