|Description=Emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollutants are an important cause of environmental problems such as climate change, acidification, eutrophication, urban air pollution and water pollution. Better understanding the drivers of these emissions and the different ways to abate them is therefore important to assess global environmental problems. Greenhouse gas and air pollutant emiissions stem from a range of sources, both anthropogenic and natural ones. The former category includes energy consumption and production, industrial processes, agriculture and land use change. The latter include wetlands, oceans and unmanaged land. In this chapter we provide a description of the approaches used in IMAGE to calculate emissions from a variety of sources and sectors in a consistent manner.

Emission module of IMAGE 3.0
Flowchart Emissions. See also the Input/Output Table on the introduction page. Anthropogenic sources, for natural sources see Table 5.2.2. More detail on inputs and outputs, and how they link to other IMAGE components is presented at the end of this section (Emission table).

Key policy issues

  • How will emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollutants develop in scenarios with and without policy interventions, such as climate policy and air pollution control?
  • What synergies between climate policy and air pollution control can be identified?

Introduction
