What is Co-benefits Approch to GHG Reduction?
The co-benefits approach to climate change and CDM means integrated efforts to address climate change concerns, while meeting development needs in developing countries. The co-benefits approach helps developing countries increase their ownership while engaging in efforts to address climate change, by introducing measures to achieve tangible development benefits. It is also considered to be a practical approach for developed countries to cooperate with developing countries, where economic and social development is a priority at the national and local levels.
