Climate policies targeting energy-related CO2 emissions, which act on a global scale over long time horizons, can result in localized, near-term reductions in both air pollution and adverse human health impacts. Focusing on China, the largest energy-usin
This article describes the links between climate change and air quality issues as well as the health and environmental benefits accruing from alterative measures and policies for CO{sub 2} mitigation in China where coal is expected to remain a main energy source for many years to come. The ...

In contrast to the downward trends of air pollutant emissions, China’s energy consumption and CO2emissions exhibited an overall upward trend during the same period. Following a rapid increase after 200026, China’s CO2emissions reached a plateau from 2013 to 2016, which is closely related to the...
In this study we developed a comprehensive framework combined an energy-economic model, a regional atmospheric chemistry model and an integrated exposure–response model, to evaluate the impacts of China’s carbon and air pollution control policies on emissions, air quality and human health in near ...

aTwo transport policies with climate co-benefits for the intra-city and inter-city transport in Brazil are analysed. Both policies aim to shift transport from the road (cars in cities, trucks between cities) towards less energy-intensive transport modes (bus, underground, rail and shipping). ...

Transport is a major contributor to carbon emissions and air pollution in China. Ongoing urbanization provides a unique opportunity for Chinese cities to abate emissions by reducing transport demand via compact urban development (CUD). Here we systematic
