Abstract: | Impinging local environmental problems on the one hand and constantly persuasive climate change concerns on the other put
developing Asian cities in a dilemma as to which direction they should channel their efforts. While local matters are their
immediate mandate, increasing awareness of climate change vulnerabilities adds weight to global problems. In this context,
the concepts of co-benefits and ancillary benefits play an important role in aligning climate change concerns into sector-specific
developmental goals. This article presents the conceptual aspects of co-benefits and the integration of climate concerns into
sustainable development goals. The possible synergies between these two different but very important strategic pathways are
examined along with possible ways to align them. The bottlenecks that can occur during such integration are also highlighted. |
