Non-climate sustainability dimension - ENV-Linkages
The model has been developed to assess the economic consequences of air pollution up until 2050, as used in previous OECD work (OECD, 2021[1]; OECD, 2016[9]). The modelling framework is based on a stepwise approach, which uses different modelling tools to link projections of (1) sectoral economic activities to (2) emissions of air pollutants, (3) concentrations of fine particulate matter and ground-level ozone, and finally to (4) the biophysical and (5) economic impacts of outdoor air pollution . These steps are repeated for each sectoral policy scenario.
Concentration-response functions, based on the Global Burden of Disease studies, provide projections of the health impacts of outdoor air pollution by country (e.g. numbers of deaths, cases of illnesses, work days lost), based on the country-average concentrations of PM2.5 and O3 obtained with the TM5- FASST model.

| Anticipation | The ENV-Linkages model is a recursive dynamic neo-classical general equilibrium model, meaning that decision-makers do not know the future when making a decision today. After it solves each period, the model then uses the resulting state of the world, including the consequences of decisions made in that period - such as resource depletion, capital stock retirements and installations, and changes to the landscape - and then moves to the next time step and performs the same exercise. |
