The Co-benefits of Climate Change Mitigation (and Air Quality Management): Coordinator in Asia project

Co-benefitsrefers to multiple benefits in different fields resulting from one policy, strategy or action plan.Co-beneficial approaches to climate change mitigation / GHG reduction, in particular, are those that also promote positive outcomes in other areas such as concerns relating to the environment (e.g. air quality management, health, agriculture, forestry and biodiversity), energy (e.g. renewable energy, alternative fuels and energy efficiency) and economics (e.g. long-term economic sustainability, industry competitiveness, income distribution).

The Co-Benefits Hub ASIA, as part of the EPA-funded project Co-Benefits of Climate Change Mitigation: Coordinator in Asia, aims to consolidate and disseminate resources pertaining to co-benefits for the use of practitioners, researchers, scientists, policy-makers in order to promote this approach to action-planning and decision-making.
