| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research focuses on demonstrating how clean energy policies and Low Emission Development Strategies (LEDS) can help to achieve multiple energy, environmental, public health and economic benefits in a cost-effective way in selected cities of Tokyo, Shanghai, Delhi, and Kuala Lumpur. The results of the quantitative analysis showed a significant reduction of CO2 and other local air pollutant emissions together with the prevention of numerous cases of mortality, and cost savings in these cities by 2030. The results revealed that Delhi's local government's focus seems to be more on gradual supply augmentation of traditional sources than envisioning a road map for a radical shift towards cleaner fuels or major demand-side management. In cities like Shanghai and Kuala Lumpur, the urbanization was correlated with the increase in air pollution. However, when the income rises, average emissions decline and the LEDS play a crucial role in these cities.
