Climate Change Mitigation in China: Co-benefits for Health

Join the Climate Change and Health IdeaLab (CHIL) for a conversation with Kristin Aunan, Senior Research Fellow at the Center for International Climate and Environmental Research-Oslo (CICERO), about her work on climate mitigation and human health in China.

Dr. Aunan's research focuses on the co-benefits of greenhouse gas mitigation (benefits to health and environment that may be obtained on a local and regional scale from implementing greenhouse gas abatement measures). Her main areas of expertise relate to impacts of air pollution, primarily health effects from ambient and indoor air pollution, but also agricultural crop losses due to surface ozone, and damage to materials. She has conducted research projects in Central and Eastern Europe and has since 1997 carried out several projects in China.
