Climate action can improve people’s quality of life, and strategies targeting how energy and resources are used may generate particularly broad benefits.

This is the main conclusion of a new study published in Communications Sustainability, a Nature portfolio journal, co-authored by DINÂMIA’CET-Iscte researchers Nuno Bento and Tiago Louro Alves. The research combines energy-system modelling across 18 countries with representative surveys in Brazil, China and the Netherlands, assessing impacts on health, energy security, employment, household income, environmental conditions and equity.
