This document is intended to serve as a resource to support the development of co-benefits analysis projects in developing countries—projects that can reduce both conventional air pollution and greenhouse gases through “integrated” measures. The document provides detailed information on developing such analytic and/or policy-related projects by describing the U.S. EPA’s Integrated Environmental Strategies program.
