Evaluating a BAT policy

To evaluate your BAT policy, your country could:

  • Conduct a detailed quantitative evaluation using PRTR information and monitoring data to assess the impact of the policy on emissions over time. This involves identifying baseline emissions, how these emissions will change as a result of the existing policy under a business-as-usual scenario, and how emissions will change as a result of the BAT policy.
  • Conduct a qualitative evaluation by gathering data on different stakeholders’ views on the environmental, economic and human health impacts of the policy, e.g. through a survey.

Below is a list of tools relevant for implementing this topic:
