Green spaces. Public transit. Energy efficiency. Bike lanes. Community gardens. Clean energy.
What do all of these policies have in common? They all mitigate climate change by reducing or sequestering greenhouse gases, and they all make up elements of attractive and livable communities. If done right, they can even contribute to a more equitable and just world.
We call these solutions, and dozens of others like them, multisolving – because they solve multiple problems with just one intervention.
Multisolving policies help protect the climate while also providing other co-benefits, such as improving health, disaster resilience, the economy, and access to healthy food and clean water. They help connect us to the natural world and people around us, and they do that while saving time and energy. They are, in short, win-win solutions for people and the climate.
