Health co-benefits of climate change mitigation

Overview

WHO's Health in the Green Economy sector briefings examine the health impacts of climate change mitigation strategies considered by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in their Fourth Assessment Report.

Large, immediate health benefits from some climate change strategies are to be expected. Other strategies, however, may involve health risks or trade-offs.
