UNFCCC COP-12 Side Event
Co-benefits of Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollution Management
November 15, 2006 in Nairobi, Kenya
This side event is co-hosted by the Energy Research Center (ECN) Policy Studies (the Netherlands) and the Global Carbon Project (GCP) and it deals with co-benefits of urban air quality management and the greenhouse gas mitigation. The aim is to stimulate discussion on the potential for using the co-benefits approach and why we are seeing so few initiatives happening in this field under the current climate regime. In this one and half hour session, discussions will be made on various dimensions of this issue. Speakers include representatives from ECN Policy Studies, GCP, US EPA's Integrated Environmental Strategies Program, Global Environment Facility (GEF) Sustainable Transport Portfolio and the Bus Rapid Transit Program of Bogotá (which is the first to have its methodology approved for Clean Development Mechanism).
