Iowa:
"Renewables now account for roughly 62% of Iowa’s electricity generation, up from 18% in 2010, with wind alone providing nearly 59% of total output.
The report found notable disparities in property tax burdens based on proximity to wind development. Properties in school districts with no […]
Week 1 was full of #urban #wildlife, art and joy as we cycled around #Canberra.
The city is wonderful to cycle around but as we encourage more #activetravel, a few more shelters and drinking water stations would be welcome. Better planning for #health #cobenefits of #climate #adaptation? (1/3)
We brought together policy experts to achieve formal consensus on the most important #cobenefits, which included: 🧠 Reduced mental health burden 🏠 Increased home comfort 🌪️ Improved disaster preparedness 💪 Better physical health 💰 Healthcare cost savings (2/3)

2 year journey with government.
We reviewed global studies on #health and #wellbeing #cobenefits of urban #climate policies. Benefits included reduced illness, mortality, and social gains. Most research was based on hypothetical scenarios (1/3)

The educational benefits of greening the school house (including better HVAC) are almost always left aside in capital expenditure decision making even though those #multisolving #cobenefits have huge value.

And if we are matching with agricultural land - examples from NZ show how it can work - rather than land being sold and primarily used only for solar - incentivise mixed farming so farmers own and have benefit return from solar as a 'mixed crop' www.farmersweekly.co.nz/technology/f... #cobenefits
And an interesting 2nd energy related letter on the health benefits that came from switching from towns has to natural gas. Expect a similar and bigger effect from electrification of heat, cooking & mobility #cobenefits

Wie kann #Gesundheit zum Motor für nachhaltiges Wachstum werden?
Das Konzept #HealthForAllPolicies zeigt:
Gesundheit wirkt weit über den eigenen Sektor hinaus und schafft #CoBenefits für andere Politikbereiche – Michelle Falkenbach u Matthias Wismar erläutern:

The educational #multisolving #cobenefits from solar on schools could easily be an order/of-magnitude greater than the electricity value stream.

A promotional graphic for UK100's Local Climate Conference features a photo of a green park with tall trees and people walking among them. Overlaid on a bright green background, the text reads: "What are the co-benefits of climate action? Learn from important conversations like this at our flagship conference on June 13th." In the bottom left corner, the UK100 logo is displayed with the tagline: "‘5 & ‘25 Local Climate Conference. Beyond Targets." The design includes a partial Union Jack graphic in the top right corner.
How can the co-benefits of climate action—cleaner air, warmer homes, lower bills—help unlock faster local delivery? 🌍
Join us at our #UK100Conference on 13 June to explore how focusing on what climate action gives can accelerate progress.

Honestly, benefits per person could have been 50% lower and funding should have been at least 50x (or 500x) bigger.
The human and social health, reduced (noise and air) pollution, lowered infrastructure costs, etc #cobenefits and system-of-system implications/benefits dwarf the costs.

Passivhaus is the only building standard that can directly address this - and it has a number of other wonderful #cobenefits, too: buoy against energy spikes and cost increases, reduced noise pollution, no mold, spider-free construction!
