The Co-benefits from Mitigating Climate Change and Air Pollution in Asia: Beyond Quantification

The Co-benefits from Mitigating Climate Change and Air Pollution in Asia: Beyond Quantification

Friday, 11 November, 15:00-16:30
Japan Pavilion

Asia's policymakers are increasingly turning to co-benefits to help align their climate and air pollution policies. This interest has led to growing attempts to equip policymakers with the tools and knowledge to quantify reductions in multiple pollutants and achieve multiple benefits. But while quantifying co-benefits can help policymakers envisage potential savings, it is still one part of a decision making process. Equally important are whether the results of a co-benefits analysis are integrated into policy and achieved on the ground. The purpose of this session is to discuss how to get beyond quantification to concrete demonstrations of co-benefits in Asia.

This event will include a presentation by Sunday Leonard, CCAC Science Officer.
