Due to sus­tain­able devel­op­ment and cli­mate lit­er­a­ture, the co-ben­e­fits approach can be under­stood as the study­ing, imple­ment­ing and repli­cat­ing of pos­i­tive exter­nal­i­ties of an action.

The authors under­line that India needs to focus on three vital fronts—energy access, valu­able employ­ment gen­er­a­tion, and ensur­ing basic envi­ron­men­tal ser­vices for all.
