sectoral economic costs and benefits of ghg mitigation - IPCC

Panel Discussion
In some sectors (particularly in transport) greenhouse gas mitigation policies are not the driving
forces influencing decision, but can be ancillary benefits to these other factors (e.g.,
reducing local air pollution, congestion, etc.). Should the WG III TAR (and this chapter)
reflect the effects of these other policies on GHG emissions?
The panel accepted as a reality that factors other than climate change were driving policies that
affected climate change, not just in the transport sector, but in all sectors. They
recommended that WG III address this issue in its report.
