It builds on a previous World Bank report, which provided the first national-level approximation of primary sources of air pollution in Kazakhstan. This city-level study highlights how potential synergies between air quality improvement and greenhouse gas reduction measures can be enhanced in a cost-effective manner. To identify and maximize these synergies and assess the measures’ cost-effectiveness at the city level, the study developed two new extensions to the Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollution Interactions and Synergies (GAINS) model—GAINS-City and GAINS-Policy and applied them in Almaty and Nur-Sultan, two major cities in Kazakhstan, for the first time. The report delivers evidence of the main causes of premature deaths from air pollution in Almaty and Nur-Sultan and offers guidance on cost-effective solutions to prevent them while making the cities better prepared for a low-carbon future. It provides high-level roadmaps for the cities' integrated air quality management and climate change mitigation to maximize synergies and manage tradeoffs. It proposes sequencing of actions until 2030 to save lives from poor air quality while facilitating long-term phase out of fossil fuels. Moreover, the report analyzes the need for policy reforms to incentivize implementation of cost-effective integrated measures by private economic actors. The report recognizes that reprioritizing policy actions slightly to maximize climate benefits may require some additional air quality management actions to address the unacceptably high burden that exposure to PM2.5 currently places on public health. 2022-08-30T19:36:00Z 2022-08-30T19:36:00Z 2022-07 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/099920008292227204/P1708700f4b6f30f0bf1a05fe6c088bdd2 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/37938 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work Economic & Sector Work :: Other Environmental Study Europe and Central Asia Kazakhstan

This city-level study highlights how potential synergies between air quality improvement and greenhouse gas reduction measures can be enhanced in a cost-effective manner.
