Abstract
Provides an examination of the linkages between mitigation policies for climate change and air quality. It outlines the scientific background to these interactions and identifies synergies, where measures to improve air quality or climate change can help ameliorate the other, and trade-offs where policy measures in the two areas act in opposition.
