This report explores the potential ancillary benefits for air pollution - in terms of reductions in pollutant emissions and changes in control costs and environmental impacts - resulting from different ways of implementing the Kyoto climate change protocol in Europe. It is based on a comparison...

Environmental amenities provide a range of direct and indirect benefits in cities, and amenity provision often figures within policy portfolios to advance sustainability in urban areas. As environmental pressures and urban populations increase, it will be necessary to find ways to ensure that...
