The health co-benefits of GHG mitigation measures in energy generation have been reported to reduce disease burden. In China, the implementation of GHG policies would reduce the air-pollution- associated disease burden by 44% in 2020 under the Integrate Carbon Reduction scenario compared with the business-as-usual scenario . Transition to a half-decarbonised power supply for the residential and transport sectors would prevent 55,000-69,000 deaths in 2030 compared with the business-as-usual scenario . A shift in travel modes from private motor vehicles to the use of mass rapid-transit lines is estimated to reduce CO2-equivalent emissions by 6% in greater Kuala Lumpur and bring important health co-benefits to the population . The 25 measures developed for reducing air pollution levels in Asia and the Asia- Pacific in general would reduce CO2 emissions in 2030 by almost 20% relative to baseline projections and decrease warming by 0.3℃ by 2050, which could eventually reduce heat-related excess deaths in the region . The 25 measures include conventional
