What is meant by co-benefits in climate policy?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A measure producing social or health benefits along with climate benefits
A climate measure can address greenhouse-gas emissions while also improving other outcomes. For example, better public transport may reduce emissions, traffic congestion, air pollution and household travel costs. These additional gains are co-benefits. They can make climate policy more attractive and improve public health, but they do not mean that every policy has only benefits or that costs should be ignored.
