Overview

Scenario analysis shows reduced pm2.5 exposure leads to fewer premature deaths in south korea, highlighting climate and health benefits.

Key Points

  • The more rapid green transition scenario results in 96 avoided premature deaths annually and 66 MTCO2e emissions reduction.
  • The first scenario achieves an average of 80 avoided premature deaths, translating to 775 years of life lost averted.
  • The study compares business-as-usual with alternative green transition scenarios for the transport sector from 2026 to 2050.
  • Greater emission reductions and health gains are evident with a complete transition to electric and hydrogen vehicles.
