"No regrets" measures for tackling emissions can have multiple benefits. Many researchers believe it will be possible to reduce emissions while generating economic benefits, such as more cost-effective energy systems and greater technological innovation. Some climate change policies can also bring local and regional environmental benefits, such as reductions in air pollution and increased protection for forests and thus biodiversity. The scientific, technical, and socio-economic literature shows that such "no regrets" opportunities are available in most countries. 4, record 7, English, - no%20regrets%20measure

Les mesures «sans regrets» visant à diminuer les émissions présentent de multiples avantages. De nombreux chercheurs croient qu'il sera possible de réduire les émissions tout en générant des avantages économiques, grâce à des systèmes énergétiques présentant un meilleur rapport coût-efficacité et aux avancées techniques. Certaines politiques de parade aux changements climatiques sont également intéressantes au regard de l'environnement local et régional, puisqu'elles diminuent la pollution de l'air et contribuent à protéger les forêts et donc la diversité biologique.
