We explain how the common practice of narrowly focusing on singular issues ignores potentially enormous synergies, quite often leading to the implementation of short-sighted solutions that may have unnecessarily costly, long-term consequences. A paradigm shift toward more holistic policy approaches supported by a new generation of integrated decision-making tools is thus needed. These tools merit a reconsideration of the traditional, fragmented energy policy framework. Our analysis of a large ensemble of alternate energy-climate futures, developed using MESSAGE, an integrated assessment model with considerable technological detail of the global energy system, shows that climate change policy offers a strategic entry point along the path to energy sustainability in several dimensions. Decarbonization will lead to improved air quality, thereby reducing energy-related health impacts worldwide. At the same time, low-carbon technologies and energy-efficiency improvements can help to further the energy security goals of individual countries and regions by promoting a more dependable, resilient, and diversified energy portfolio. The cost savings of these climate policy synergies are potentially enormous. 2012 https://youtu.be/16iXAIQsHsE 203 public other Worlds Within Reach: From Science To Policy - IIASA 40th Anniversary Conference Hofburg Congress Center, Vienna and IIASA, Laxenburg, Austria 24-26 October 2012 conference FALSE info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject
