What does ADEME do to improve air quality in France ? François Moisan– Executive Strategy Reserch and International Director- ADEME

Few words about ADEME • ADEME = French agency for environment and energy management • Created in 1992 from 3 existing agencies (waste, air quality and energy management) • Public agency under the joint authority of :  the Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Energy  the Ministry for National Education, Higher Education and Research • ADEME is involved in the implementation of public policies in the areas of environment, energy and sustainable development. • Objectives :  to provide expertise and advisory services to businesses, local authorities, government bodies and the public at large  to enable them to establish and consolidate their environmental action

About 1 000 workers - 3 main sites ( ~ 50%) - 26 regional directions to cover all the France 2017 Budget: 590 M€ Paris  3% for Air pollution & Angers Noise abatement Valbonne

Air Quality Impact A major public health concern  PM linked to life expectancy reduction of 8,2 months in France  October 2013: the World health organisation recognized outdoor air pollution and PM as carcinogenic to humans  PM short-term exposure  Increase cardio-pulmonary morbidity and mortality PM long-term exposure  Encourage asthma emergence in adults, chronic obstructive airway diseases and impaired development of lung function in children, cardiovascular diseases and lung cancers.  Outdoor air pollution would cost 20-30 billion € per year (i.e. 400 à 500 €/ inhabitant - source CGDD), including 0,8 à 1,7 billion € directly supported by the health care system.

How do we act ?  We need to act : • To reduce GHG and atmospheric pollutants • Quickly • To improve the global situation and crisis (peaks of pollution)  But now, it’s more difficult to reduce the emissions than in the past because of : • Much more diffuse emissions (wood heating, transport, agriculture) • Lower emissions levels • Technological improvements are made ≠ behaviour of the public at large scale Need of action :  At national level and at local scale  On all concerned sectors

ADEME’s actions for air quality By funding projects, from research to implementation • Support innovation and research  Thesis, call for R&D projects, investments for the future  To better understand pollutants  To understand the link between emissions and concentrations  To find technical solutions to reduce or to treat emissions  To improve cross-disciplinary approach • Support local authorities  Feasibilities studies  To implement actions • Encourage and impulse behaviour change of individuals
