Most strikingly, it slashes costs. Because climate mitigation and air pollution control rely on many of the same investments, phasing out coal, improving energy efficiency, & switching to clean electricity, doing both at once avoids duplication. The study finds that achieving climate and clean air goals together costs more than 50% less than pursuing them separately, whether measured in lost GDP or reduced household consumption
