A systems approach for health/environment/climate co-benefits in citiesReviewsCities are playing an increasingly large role in environmental policy making. Urbanization and Climate Co-benefits comprehensively lays out how cities can use the co-benefits approach to plan for environmentally responsible cities, which meets the needs of both people and the planet. The innovative structure of the book, combining theory and planning as well as on the ground experiences makes it highly relevant to both scholars and practitioners at a time when the future of cities is recognized as crucial for global sustainability. - Kazuhiko Takemoto, Director, United Nations University Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability, Japan Urbanization and Climate Co-benefits provides much needed insights through examination of both the technical and non-technical aspects of co-benefits. The book stimulates the reader to think about how such an approach may be implemented across the urban sectors. This book is a very timely contribution as discussions on co-benefits become increasingly prominent at all levels of policymaking. - Shobhakar Dhakal, Associate Professor, Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand This book offers a framework to understand climate co-benefits in cities based on in-depth empirical research carried out by an interdisciplinary team of researchers. It offers an important guide to advance our knowledge on how to develop sustainable cities and to design a road map for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and implementing the New Urban Agenda adopted at the 2016 Habitat III Conference in Quito. - Govindan Parayil, Mark & Melody Teppola Presidential Distinguished Professor, Willamette University, Salem, Oregon, USA, Former Vice- Author InformationChristopher N.H.
