Introduction

Free, Local, Immediate, and Persuasive (FLIP) Co-Benefits of Climate Action

Addressing climate change—while a global challenge—requires local solutions to succeed. Historically, climate action has been framed as an expensive distraction from more immediate goals like economic development and social prosperity. FLIP reframes this narrative by demonstrating the economic, environmental, social, and health co-benefits that climate action delivers to local communities, while simultaneously decreasing GHG emissions.

Our aim is to make these co-benefits easy to explore for practitioners, policymakers, students, and residents.

  • Social: community assets strengthened by climate programs (e.g., transit, greenspace).

  • Health: near-term health co-benefits that accrue alongside emissions reductions.
