Using Different IBC Methods in Different Scenarios

The document provides technical instructions for using the IBC tab in LEAP settings to manage health impact calculations and particulate matter scaling. It details how to create Key Assumption Branches to switch between different versions of the Global Burden of Disease relative risk functions (2010, 2015, 2019), two different PM scaling methods (including one based on van Donkelaar, 2016), and IIASA ECLIPSE background emission scenarios (versions 5 or 6).

• LEAP allows users to select from three versions of the Global Burden of Disease relative risk functions to calculate health impacts: the 2010, 2015, and 2019 versions.
• There are two methods for scaling base year particulate matter: a 'No Scaling' approach that uses LEAP emissions directly for any base year, and a scaling approach based on van Donkelaar (2016) which requires a 2010 base year and complete accounting of national particulate-forming emissions.
• Users can control the background Rest of World emission scenarios by selecting either version 5 or 6 of the IIASA ECLIPSE scenarios.
