AbstractAbstract
[en] Climate change, loss of biodiversity and environmental degradation affect the public health. In particular, the increase and persistence of high temperature spells could put a large part of the population at serious risk, and drastically limit human activity. Yet, heat waves are underrepresented in analyses of extreme weather events, and particularly in economic assessments. This lack of study, combined with the low risk perception of the population, limits the will to implement adaptation measures even though the impacts are avoidable. This article presents the evolution of the global economic impact of the health effects of heat waves in France between 1974 and 2020. (authors)

Le changement climatique, la perte de la biodiversite et l'alteration globale de l'environnement deteriorent la sante des populations. Plus particulierement, l'augmentation des periodes marquees par des temperatures elevees et leur persistance pourraient constituer un risque majeur pour une large part de la population et limiter drastiquement l'activite humaine. Pourtant, les vagues de chaleur sont sous-representees dans les analyses des evenements meteorologiques extremes, en particulier dans les evaluations economiques. Ce manque d'etudes, associe a la faible perception par la population du risque lie a la chaleur, limite la mise en place de mesures d'adaptation, alors que les effets des canicules sont en grande partie evitables. Cet article presente l'evolution de l'impact economique global des effets sanitaires des vagues de chaleur observees en France entre 1974 et 2020. (auteurs)Original Title

AbstractAbstract
[en] Air pollution is currently accountable for 40,000 deaths every year in France. The main objective of this study was to characterise the evolution of urban atmospheric pollution and its impact on mortality by comparing two air pollution exposure periods, 2008-2010 and 2017-2019, within the Toulouse area. We also aimed to assess the putative achievable health gains, if the concentrations of tracer pollutants were already at the level of the new World Health Organization (WHO) 2021 guidelines during the 2017-2019 period. The distribution of this health impact according to social deprivation and an exploration of the associated economic impacts were also estimated. Several quantitative impact health studies were conducted by modelling population exposure to PM2.5 and NO2 within the region covered by the second Toulouse air protection plan. The French European Deprivation Index was used as a fine-scale indicator of social deprivation, and economic impacts were estimated by assigning a monetary value to the prevention of one death linked to air pollution. Across the area of study, average annual concentration levels decreased from 17.2 μg/m3 to 10.3 μg/m3 for PM2.5, and from 21.7 μg/m3 to 18.1 μg/m3 for NO2 between 2009 and 2019. The proportion of all cause mortality attributable to air pollution (95% confidence interval [95% CI]) thus dropped from 15.7% [5.8; 23.8] to 7.2% [2.6; 11.2] for PM2.5 between 2009 and 2019, and it decreased from 2.7% [0.9; 4.2] to 1.9% [0.7; 2.9] for NO2 over the same period. Despite this improvement, concentrations of tracer pollutants remain above WHO 2021 guidelines, and there are still 440 annual deaths attributable to overexposure to PM2.5 that could be avoided, had these values already been reached in 2019. Regarding social deprivation, a low but increasing gradient of exposure to air pollution is observed between the least and most deprived population quintiles. This leads to an even greater mortality gradient attributable to air pollution between these same quintiles, with a worsening of these observations between 2009 and 2019. Regarding the economic impact, the average expected valuation associated with meeting the WHO 2021 guidelines early would have been of 2,772 millions euros2018 in 2009 and 1,423 millions euros2018 in 2019 in the region under study.

La pollution atmospherique (PA) est encore aujourd'hui responsable de 40 000 deces annuels en France. L'objectif principal de ce travail etait de caracteriser les evolutions de la PA urbaine et son impact sur la mortalite, en comparant les periodes 2008-2010 et 2017-2019 sur la zone de Toulouse. Il s'agissait aussi d'evaluer les gains sanitaires potentiels si les concentrations des polluants consideres comme traceurs respectaient les nouvelles valeurs guides de l'Organisation mondiale de la sante (OMS) 2021 sur la periode 2017-2019. La repartition de cet impact sur la sante selon la defavorisation sociale et une exploration des impacts economiques associes ont aussi ete estimees. Plusieurs etudes quantitatives d'impact sur la sante (EQIS) ont ainsi ete realisees grace a la modelisation de l'exposition des populations aux PM2,5 et au NO2 sur le territoire du deuxieme plan de protection de l'atmosphere de Toulouse (PPA). Le French European Deprivation Index (French EDI) a ete utilise comme indicateur de defavorisation sociale a fine echelle et les impacts economiques ont ete estimes par l'attribution d'une valeur monetaire a l'evitement d'un deces. Sur l'ensemble de la zone du PPA, les moyennes de concentration annuelles passent de 17,2 μg/m3 a 10,3 μg/m3 pour les PM2,5 et de 21,7 μg/m3 a 18,1 μg/m3 pour le NO2, entre 2009 et 2019. La proportion de mortalite, toutes causes confondues, attribuable a la PA (intervalle de confiance de 95 % [IC 95 %]), passe de ce fait de 15,7 % [5,8; 23,8] a 7,2 % [2,6; 11,2] pour les PM2,5 entre 2009 et 2019; elle diminue de 2,7 % [0,9; 4,2] a 1,9 % [0,7; 2,9] pour le NO2 sur la meme periode. Malgre cette amelioration, les concentrations en polluants traceurs restent au-dessus des valeurs guides de l'OMS 2021 et 440 deces attribuables a la surexposition aux PM2,5 auraient encore pu etre evites chaque annee si ces valeurs avaient deja ete atteintes en 2019. Un gradient d'exposition a la PA faible mais croissant est par ailleurs observe du quintile de population le moins defavorise au quintile le plus defavorise. Il conduit a un gradient croissant de mortalite attribuable a la PA encore plus marque entre ces quintiles, et celui-ci s'amplifie entre 2009 et 2019. Les gains economiques annuels qui auraient potentiellement pu etre observes si les valeurs guides OMS 2021 avaient deja ete respectees ont ete estimes a 2 772 millions d'euros2018 en 2009 et a 1 423 millions d'euros2018 en 2019.

AbstractAbstract
[en] Within the Department of the General Commissioner for Sustainable Development, the Division for Economics, Assessment and Integration of Sustainable Development is in charge of developing and promoting the economic valuation of policies, regulations, environmental goods and services, related to biodiversity, natural assets and environmental amenities. On December 19, 2013, this department held the fourth annual seminar on monetary valuation of environmental goods, services and impacts. The three first editions were respectively devoted to economic valuation methods of environmental goods and services, their implementation and the use of monetary values resulting from these methods. The 2013 seminar addressed methodological innovations and the way they contribute to decision in private sector and in policy-making process, in domains such as environmental debt, circular economy or health impact of environment. Those conferences are aimed at experts and practitioners of monetary valuation techniques as well as at users of the values produced. They provide a place to gather and facilitate dialogue between representatives from universities, government agencies and private sector involved in these issues. (authors)
