BENEFITS OF ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION

• Changes in consumption patterns—that is, switching to renewable energy sources, changing diet, or acquiring more-sustainable consumer goods;
• Improvements to the local resource base—the global environmental processes involved in such areas as the hydrological cycle, land degradation, and atmospheric pollution are the accumulation of local resource dynamics over larger areas;
• Reduced vulnerability—global environmental processes such as climate change become less of a threat to vulnerable people, and people become less risk averse, thus reducing pressures on the resource base; and
• Changes to the external institutional environment—as a consequence of local-level empowerment, public awareness, and political support for environmental issues, and potentially fostering revisions in the balance of priorities as the urgency of poverty reduction and development pressures is reduced
