南非的法律的法案和政策大多分别处理气候变化减缓和空气质量管理问题。这种做法并非总是连贯一致的，特别是在南非面临的其他严重问题，如减轻贫困的情况下。为减缓气候变化而实施的政策可能会因意外结果（例如当地空气污染增加）而增加对健康的负面影响，因此在制定减缓战略时必须考虑到这些间接后果。然而，温室气体减排政策也可以对当地空气污染产生共同效益和积极影响。应对这些挑战需要采取一种基于证据的方法，考虑到温室气体排放、环境空气污染物、经济因素（负担能力、成本优化）、社会因素（消除贫困、公共卫生福利）和政治可接受性。建议使用一个综合的气候/空气污染的技术经济优化模型，如温室气体和空气污染的协同作用（性别问题信息和联网系统）模型，可以提供一个合理的决策支持工具，以指导政策制定者结合气候变化和空气质量缓解措施的有效战略。
Climate change mitigation and air quality management are mostly addressed separately in South African legal acts and policies. This approach is not always coherent, especially in the context of other serious issues South Africa is facing, such as poverty alleviation. Policies implemented to mitigate climate change might increase negative health affects due to unanticipated outcomes (e.g. increased local air pollution), and these indirect consequences must therefore be taken into account when devising mitigation strategies. However, greenhouse gas mitigation policies can also have co-benefits and positive impacts on local air pollution. An evidence-based approach that takes into account greenhouse gas emissions, ambient air pollutants, economic factors (affordability, cost optimisation), social factors (poverty alleviations, public health benefits), and political acceptability is needed tackle these challenges. A proposal is made that use of an integrated climate/air pollution techno-economic optimising model, such as the Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollution Synergies (GAINS) model, may provide a rational decision support tool to guide policy makers into effective strategies for combined Climate Change and Air Quality mitigation measures.
