Modelling the health related benefits of environmental policies - a CGE analysis for the eu countries with gem-e3



18

measures are taken to reduce CO2 emissions. This implies a relatively important growth
of CO
2 emissions by 2008-2012, the target period of the Kyoto Protocol. The last two
columns of Table 3 present the reduction targets in terms of CO
2 emissions in 2010 for
the two versions of the GEM-E3 model. The two model versions imply slightly
different emission targets for 2010 because the extended GEM-E3 model takes into
account the feedback effects of the growth in the emissions of local air pollutants (NO
x,
SO
2, VOC and PM) that is observed under the business-as-usual scenario. For most
countries and the EU in total this leads to a slightly smaller reduction target than in the
absence of the feedback effects. In five countries the feedback effects imply that CO
2
emissions should be reduced by more than in the standard GEM-E3 model.
