Towards an Integrated Approach to Co-Benefits in Asia
● Institutional ● Gap: AP & CC mandate within different Ministries; mandate for integration at
local development agencies (to create linkage with economic development, etc)? ● Opportunity: AP & CC goals integrated into urban/local development goal/plans
● Communication ● Gap: While there is existing information that an integrated approach has multiple
benefits, this needs to be communicated better (esp on cost‐benefits)● Opportunity: Strengthen efforts to communicate co‐benefits to trigger policy
action; document case studies/best practices on co‐benefits;
● Resources● Gap: limited resources available to address climate (depending on local priorities)● Opportunity: Importance of engaging different stakeholders (government,
scientific community, private sector, civil society, etc)
