Co-benefits of climate mitigation

16 February 2016

DECC has commissioned Aether, in collaboration with Aether Associate Alison Smith, to carry out a four-month scoping study to provide a comprehensive overview and synthesis of existing and planned research on co-benefits and possible adverse side-effects of climate mitigation, and to make recommendations for further research. The final report will be completed in Spring 2016.  A detailed understanding of the co-benefits and possible adverse side effects of mitigation is important to policy makers for exploiting synergies and minimising conflicts between policy goals. Accounting for the full range of co-benefits can also build political and public support for appropriate climate mitigation actions both in the UK and overseas.
