Venue: Japan Pavilion, UNFCCC COP19 in Warsaw
Organized by: UNU-IAS Operating Unit Ishikawa/Kanazawa (OUIK)
Event Description
UNU-IAS will organize an event during UNFCCC COP19, looking at how we can generate urban co-benefits (i.e., positive impacts for integrating climate change with local sustainable development goals in cities) in the energy, waste, land-use and transportation sectors based on empirical studies conducted in Brazil, China, India, Indonesia and Japan.

Urban Development with Climate Co-Benefits: Aligning Climate, Environmental and Other Development Goals in Cities By Jose A. Puppim de Oliveira, Christopher N.H. Doll and Aki Suwa
Rapid urbanization in developing countries demands a massive provision of infrastructure, public transportation, housing and jobs for their population, as well as a healthy environment. Consequently, urban areas in those countries contribute increasingly to climate change, and suffers its impacts. The climate co-benefits approach in this report refers to the development and implementation of policies and strategies that simultaneously contribute to addressing climate change and solving local environmental problems, which also have other development impacts. Relying on the results of research carried out in Brazil, China, India, Indonesia and Japan, this report offers lessons to understand projects and policies that generate co-benefits and the factors that influence them.
