Abstract:
ClimBHealth inquires to what extent changes in urban mobility and diet could reduce adverse climate effects and provide health co-benefits. Thus, the reduction of GHG emissions and disease burden as well as other sustainability Problems will be assessed. Further, ClimBHealth asks if measures to mitigate climate change could partly offset their own implementation costs via health co-benefits.
