Reducing Impacts of Air Pollutants in Nepal

This research paper develops a national-level emission inventory for Nepal covering short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs), CO2, and other air pollutants, projecting their impacts on health, agriculture, and climate through 2100 under reference and mitigation policy scenarios.

• The study projects that implementing mitigation measures could result in significant emission reductions by 2050 compared to the reference scenario, specifically reducing black carbon (BC) and methane (CH4) by approximately 78% and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) by 87%.
• The projected mitigation measures are estimated to avoid 29,000 deaths and 1.7 million tonnes of crop loss, generating an economic benefit in present value that is 2.7 times higher than the total implementation costs between 2010 and 2050.
