博客來This book examines the main opportunities and challenges to the implementation of environmental co-benefits (policies and strategies that simultaneously contribute to addressing climate change and solving local environmental problems) in urban areas. The book focuses primarily upon sub-national processes, particularly in cities in developing countries, but the research also looks into the links of sub-national processes to national and international processes. Drawing on the results of empirical research carried out in Brazil, China, Indonesia, India and Japan, the book is divided into three concise parts, which analyse different sectors including energy, transportation and waste, and examine the tools that can help uncover urban co-benefits, urban governance and legal dimensions of planning for co-benefits.
This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of urban studies, climate policy and environmental studies in general.
