“…On the one hand, some approaches aim to tackle local environmental problems and overcome the global climate change problems at the same time. These often involve climate change mitigation efforts from several related sectors, such as transport, city planning, and the water, energy and health sectors [17,18,23]. This concept was developed in the Third Assessment Report (2001) by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).…”

“…Another approach, which deals simultaneously with both the global and the local problems, is the so-called co-benefits approach [17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. The concept of "Sustainable Cities" [24] also addresses how cities can govern better to cope with climate change and focus on enabling actual spatial transformation, rather than only institutional change [24,25].…”

“…In practice, low-carbon cities have been used as a concept to mitigate climate change in developed countries, particularly in household energy management [24,26]. The co-benefit approach is a suitable focus for action [18,27]. It could support an integrated program to develop and implement policies that simultaneously both contribute to lowering GHG emissions, while, at the same time, address local socioeconomic sustainability challenges.…”

Incorporating Air Quality Improvement at a Local Level into Climate Policy in the Transport Sector: A Case Study in Bandung City, Indonesia

Abstract:Climate policy has a strong influence on policy processes at national levels in Indonesia, while other policies with a focus on air quality improvement are being implemented at local levels. Indonesia as a developing country has committed to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 29 percent by the year 2030. This calls into question the extent to which cities and local governments can cope with the challenges of climate change mitigation. The purpose of the research is to find out the extent to which local air pollution reduction policies can contribute to the climate change mitigation program. The research design involved an empirical case study on governance and policy relevant to climate change efforts to lower GHG in Bandung City, Indonesia. The study evaluated the air quality improvement and the climate change mitigation programs using the actor-based framework of the Contextual Interaction Theory (CIT). The governance and stakeholder characteristic of climate change mitigation were also analysed using the structural context part of the CIT framework. The result shows that air quality improvement policy is implemented separately from climate policy; the latter operates at the national level and the former at the local level. By looking at the actor interaction analysis, the study concludes that a more holistic environmental policy approach would be more efficient at reducing local air pollution and contributing to the mitigation of climate change.

“…A range of climate mitigation benefits can also be obtained from the waste sector in terms of how waste is sorted and processed 34 . It becomes clear that a range of interlinked planning and regulatory actions, when tackled simultaneously, can give rise to significant reductions in climate-altering pollutants 35 .…”

Urban governance and the systems approaches to health-environment co-benefits in cities

et al. 2015

The term “co-benefits” refers to positive outcomes accruing from a policy beyond the intended outcome, often or usually in other sectors. In the urban context, policies implemented in particular sectors (such as transport, energy or waste) often generate multiple co-benefits in other areas. Such benefits may be related to the reduction of local or global environmental impacts and also extend into the area of public health. A key to identifying and realising co-benefits is the adoption of systems approaches to understand inter-sectoral linkages and, in particular, the translation of this understanding to improved sector-specific and city governance. This paper reviews a range of policies which can yield health and climate co-benefits across different urban sectors and illustrates, through a series of cases, how taking a systems approach can lead to innovations in urban governance which aid the development of healthy and sustainable cities.

“…As papers in this special edition examine and global reports indicate, the impact of Asian cities is expected to become more significant over forthcoming decades (IEA 2013, WRI 2014. Most of the world's largest cities are now located in East Asia and South Asia, and current estimates suggest they will absorb another billion people by the late 2030s (Puppim de Oliveira et al 2013). This expansion of the world's urban population alone will create intensifying energy and environmental pressures that will be felt both locally and globally.…”
