LEAP-IBC Bangladesh

The document introduces the LEAP-IBC tool, which quantifies the co-benefits of reducing greenhouse gases and short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) on public health and air quality. Applying this framework to Bangladesh's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and National Action Plan to reduce SLCPs, the study finds that full implementation by 2030 would significantly reduce emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, black carbon, and PM2.5, leading to a decrease in ambient PM2.5 concentrations and the avoidance of approximately 112,000 premature deaths.

• The LEAP-IBC modelling framework estimates emissions of greenhouse gases, short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs), and air pollutants to quantify population-weighted annual average ambient PM2.5 concentrations, household PM2.5 exposure, and radiative forcing, which are then used to estimate premature mortality and global average temperature changes.
• Full implementation of Bangladesh's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and National SLCP Plan by 2030, compared to a baseline scenario, would reduce emissions of carbon dioxide by 25%, methane by 34%, black carbon by 46%, and primary PM2.5 by 45%.
• The implementation of these strategies in Bangladesh could reduce population-weighted ambient PM2.5 concentrations by 18% in 2030 and prevent approximately 12,000 premature deaths from ambient PM2.5 exposure and 100,000 premature deaths from household PM2.5 exposure in the same year.
