This report summarises the evidence of how climate change mitigation actions could promote human health in the near term, through ‘co-benefits’. It makes four headline recommendations:

1. Incorporating health into the climate narrative 
2. Integrating climate adaptation and mitigation policies to benefit health
3. Developing metrics to assess health impacts
4. Promoting transdisciplinary systems approaches to address the complex interaction between climate change mitigation and health
