Health, Labor and Environmental Regulation in Post-Industrial Europe

Project description

Assessing the unintended consequences of environmental policies

The EU’s environmental standards, developed over decades, help the economy to become more environmentally friendly and protect natural resources. Environmental policy also aims to safeguard the health and well-being of people living in the EU. The EU-funded HEAL project will assess the trade-off between high costs related to curbing the combustion of fossil fuels (a significant contributor to global climate change and regional air pollution) and safeguarding human health. Specifically, it will study the economic implications of changes in local air quality that were unintended consequences of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme for carbon dioxide. It will also analyse the impact of air pollution on labour supply, health and migration. The findings will benefit environmental policymaking.
