This study assesses the current air quality and its health impacts, and the associated external economic costs of coal power plants in Indonesia. The study also includes the impact of various policy pathways into the future. We present the first health-based phase-out pathways that are designed to maximize public health benefits of retiring coal power plants. By using the impact pathway approach, this study quantifies the health impacts of air pollutant emissions from coal power generation in Indonesia.
