WISE is pleased to announce a WISE Public Lecture with Jonathan Buonocore. Please join us in person or on Zoom for a discussion on the health co-benefits of renewable energy and climate policy. As the buildout of renewable energy has progressed, health co-benefits assessments have been conducted alongside evaluations of the health benefits resulting from changes in electricity generation. To meet our goal of keeping climate change below 2°C, current strategies under debate include electrifying other uses of fossil fuels—such as transportation and building heating and cooling—while expanding renewable energy to meet this increased electricity demand. This talk will explore recent applications of co-benefits assessments in the electrical grid and climate policy, how these methods are now being extended to buildings and transportation, and why health considerations should be more deeply integrated into energy policy.
