In the Pathfinder review, actions that cut across multiple sectors had the second-largest average mitigation intensity after electricity generation, and these actions were mostly national policies that included increased energy efficiency across buildings, transport and industry or packages of measures to improve air quality and reduce methane.
Health benefits were mostly moderate. This is likely because the basket of actions included in each national policy included some policies with large co-benefits (e.g. changes to transport) and others with negligible benefits for health (e.g. manufacturing efficiency standards).
The impacts of multi-sectoral actions were highly variable depending on the country context.
