The study, set in Singapore, suggests that better air quality will bring about climate co-benefits in reducing electricity generation via lower household demand, and thus mitigating carbon emissions. Cleaner urban air will reduce energy demand, as households engage in less defensive behavior, and this helps to mitigate carbon emissions.
