Description du projet
Aider les décideurs à évaluer la valeur économique de la pollution
Le calcul des valeurs économiques associées à la pollution est important pour guider l’élaboration des politiques. C’est le cas des produits chimiques et des polluants atmosphériques transmis par les vecteurs de l’air, de l’eau et du sol. Dans ce contexte, le projet VALESOR, financé par l’UE, favorisera la prise en compte des facteurs de stress environnementaux dans le processus décisionnel économique. Il développera un outil Internet permettant aux parties prenantes d’évaluer les conséquences sanitaires et économiques. Il facilitera également la mise en place d’une cohérence transdisciplinaire dans les valeurs utilisées lors de l’évaluation des facteurs de stress environnementaux. VALESOR développera un modèle économique environnemental de pointe qui sera aussi complet que possible dans sa représentation des valeurs économiques de la pollution. Il permettra de déterminer les données d’entrée importantes pour le calcul des valeurs économiques.
Objectif
VALESOR aims to make major contributions to the scientific and policy efforts to accommodate economic values of environmental stressors more homogenously in policy making, planning. The environmental stressors of concern for VALESOR are chemical stressors such as chemicals and air pollutants transmitted via air, water, and soil vectors. VALESOR will develop an innovative website tool for stakeholders to assess health and economic consequences of planned variations in chemical stressors. This website tool will be able to evolve: by given the fact that, at a given date, exposure and impact assessment of some chemical stressors would be still incomplete, thus providing partial and provisional assessment based on credible hypothesis. VALESOR will also engage in substantial outreach activities to promote the consideration of environmental stressors in economic decision making and to facilitate an establishment of a trans-disciplinary consistency in values used when valuing environmental stressors.VALESOR will previously develop a state-of-the-art environmental economic model which will be as complete as theoretically possible in its representation of economic values of pollution. In particular, VALESOR will increase the number of human health endpoints considered in economic welfare assessments of chemical and air pollution in connection with recent results and current projects. Based on earlier research and engagement with other programs, VALESOR will clarify which input knowledge is important prior to calculating economic values associated with pollution. In particular, VALESOR will benefit from the experience and knowhow of several of its partners who have already worked models and / or tools targeting air pollution. VALESOR will make concrete guidance with respect to how key economic wellbeing values should be used by policy makers
