|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. | |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.

Key policy issues

- What synergies between climate policy and air pollution control can be identified?
