本論文は、地域の気候行動が大気質にもたらす共同便益を定量化するツールを提案し、欧州494都市の気候行動計画に適用した。住宅と運輸部門の GHG 削減策が大気汚染物質排出に与える影響を評価し、多くの対策が相乗効果を持つ一方、バイオマス暖房など一部の対策は PM2.5 排出を増やすリスクがあることを示した。
English
This paper presents a tool to quantify air quality co-benefits of local climate actions, applied to 494 European cities' climate action plans. It estimates emission changes for five pollutants from residential and transport GHG mitigation actions, finding synergies but also risks from biomass heating and fuel switching. Context-specific analysis is needed to avoid trade-offs.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本でも市区町村レベルでの気候変動対策と大気質改善の連携が注目されているが、本ツールは欧州の事例であり、日本の自治体が直接利用できるものではない。ただし、政策統合の参考事例として示唆に富む。
In the global GX context
This tool supports city-level integration of climate and air quality policies, relevant to global initiatives like C40 and ICLEI. The findings on biomass heating risks are especially pertinent for urban policymakers promoting renewable energy.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Researchers can adopt the tool for co-benefits assessment in other regions or sectors.
🏢実務担当者:Practitioners can use the tool to evaluate trade-offs in local climate action plans.
🏛政策担当者:Policymakers should note the risk of increased PM2.5 from biomass heating and the need for context-specific planning.
📄 Abstract（原文）
<ns3:p> This article presents a novel tool to quantify potential air quality co-benefits of local climate action and an analysis applying it to a large sample of cities across European and neighbouring countries. The tool estimates the effects of local actions tackling greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with two sectors, namely residential buildings and transport, on air quality. It estimates emission changes associated with GHG mitigation actions described in city climate action plans (CAPs) for five key air pollutants, namely fine particulate matter (PM <ns3:sub>2.5</ns3:sub> ), nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulphur dioxide (SO <ns3:sub>2</ns3:sub> ), ammonia (NH <ns3:sub>3</ns3:sub> ) and volatile organic compounds (VOC). The analysis applies the tool to evaluate potential impacts of local climate action for 494 cities on ambient air pollutant emissions, based on 531 CAPs submitted to the Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy (CoM) initiative. The results demonstrate that GHG mitigation actions are often synergic with air pollution control strategies, offering significant air quality co-benefits. The magnitude and type of benefits depend on the sector and pollutant considered. Nevertheless, some actions may pose risks for air quality. There are risks of increasing, for example, ammonia emissions through a transport fuel switch and, more significantly, fine particulate matter emissions if solid biomass for heating in the residential sector is promoted. Therefore, context-specific data and case-by-case tailored analyses are needed to support the adequate integration of GHG mitigation and air quality policies at city level, avoiding potential trade-offs and maximizing synergies. </ns3:p>
