A review of studies assessing the benefits of clean air and climate mitigation policies for child and adult health by Frederica Perera, Kathleen Lau

“…The benefits are likely to be serious undercounts as most studies included a limited suite of outcomes: economic savings generally considered only short-term costs; and the health benefits of climate policies were estimated as “co-benefits” of reduced air pollution, omitting those from fewer climate “shocks”. Conclusions: The results of this review show positive and substantial benefits of climate and clean air policies and should incentivize and inform future policies to mitigate fossil-fuel related climate change and air pollution.…”
