Co-benefits: 2 definitions

Co-benefits from the global climate change perspective: additional benefits beyond GHG reductions resulting from climate change mitigation measures  Reduced air pollution  Associated health benefits  Improved energy security through reduced energy costs and dependency on oil imports  Increased access to energy

Co-benefits: shared costs

Integrating air pollution abatement and climate change mitigation policies offers potentially large cost reductions compared to treating those policies in isolation”

Co-benefits from the Asian regional/local perspective: additional GHG reductions resulting from measures aimed to address 

Development issues, such as air pollution and associated health



Problems, lack of energy access and security, and other socioeconomic problems

Co-benefits: importance to Asia

CAI-Asia Center

Overlapping solutions

• To stay within 2 oC increase, drastic emission cuts needed from 1990 – 2050: – 60-80% developed countries – 20% developing countries

• Addressing urban air pollution provides a unique opportunity to mitigate global climate change through local actions RIGHT NOW

Integration of AP and CC policies at 3 levels

Policies on AP and CC relevant to Asia Climate Change •



• •

Global/regional level – UNFCCC / Kyoto protocol: No obligations developing countries, Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) – Bali Action Plan: nationally appropriate mitigation actions by developing country Parties National level policies – e.g. China, Korea, India – Limited target setting Sectoral targets: – Energy efficiency (e.g. China, Viet Nam) Urban level – Limited but growing level of activity

Air Quality •



• •

Global/Regional level – No global agreement – CLRTAP in Europe a success – Regional agreements in Asia emerging: EANET, ASEAN Haze agreement, Male Declaration National level – Clean air legislation, AQ standards in place but not well enforced – No or limited targets Sectoral policies and targets – Power sector, industry, transport Urban level – Wide range of capacity Source: “Air Pollution and Climate Change – scientific understanding as a basis for integrated policy making.
