Issue Paper
California has the opportunity to combat global warming while simultaneously improving air quality and public health throughout the state.

NRDC analysis shows that strategies for reducing global warming pollution -- cleaner cars and trucks, energy efficiency, renewable energy and smart growth -- also reduce air pollution and bring tremendous short- and long-term health "co-benefits."
