Interventions in the energy sector offer significant opportunities for reducing both greenhouse and other health-damaging pollution, resulting in what are called "co-benefits." The health community plays a critical role in evaluating such interventions to optimize progress of both sorts because both affect health. In detail, analyses require sophisticated modeling and specific local information. As a starting point, however, we offer here a set of scoping methods for obtaining a quick assessment of these co-benefits for interventions in the energy sector, the arena with the highest potential for significant co-benefits. Thus we combine relevant methods developed separately in recent years for cost-effectiveness assessments in the climate change, health, and development communities. We offer sample calculations, which illustrate the apparent high degree of co-benefit effectiveness for targeted interventions in the household energy sector in developing countries.

能源系统中缓解气候变化和健康保护的共同利益：范围界定方法。

能源部门的干预为减少温室和其他有害健康的污染提供了重大机会，从而产生了所谓的“共同利益”。卫生界在评估此类干预措施以优化两种进展方面均起着至关重要的作用，因为两者都会影响健康。详细地说，分析需要复杂的建模和特定的本地信息。但是，作为起点，我们在此处提供了一套范围界定方法，用于快速评估这些共同利益，以进行能源部门的干预，这是具有重大共同利益的最大潜力的领域。因此，我们结合了近年来单独开发的相关方法，以评估气候变化，健康和发展社区的成本效益。我们提供样本计算，
