Climate change and public health are two interconnected societal challenges. Curbing 10 fossil-based electricity generation reduces the emissions of both CO2 and air pollutants, which 11 brings tangible health benefits from improved air quality. The potential health benefits from 12 decarbonizing the grid are enormous, immediate, and widespread. From renewable portfolio 13 standards to carbon market, the health co-benefits from clean electricity policies often outweigh 14 their policy costs (1–3). As climate action goes local, framing decarbonization around health 15 benefits also makes it more personally relevant and economically attractive. 16Yet, to date, the health impacts have largely been viewed as ancillary benefits from 17 decarbonization, rather than as a core consideration when energy strategies are formed, 18 assessed and implemented. When strategic choices are made about retiring old infrastructure 19 and building new ones, bringing public health to the center of the discussion can generate greater 20 health benefits with more equitable distribution. 21
