Description (excerpt):
• Climate policies on building retrofits, bus networks and
district energy and cooling can generate millions of
jobs, save households billions of dollars, and prevent
hundreds of thousands of deaths related to urban
pollution all over the world.
• The report helps policymakers establish the case for
climate action by providing evidence on how climate
measures are interrelated with, and support, other
urban policy goals.
• Climate Opportunity shows that mitigating climate
change through ambitious policies can help cities
achieve their broader social and economic agendas
and deliver outcomes for health and prosperity.
• By using Climate Opportunity’s methodology and
tools, policymakers can investigate further linkages
between ambitious climate measures and their social
and economic priorities
