 In many cities there's still a tendency to think of the climate change problem as an isolated problem that sits in the future. My name is Eric Zussman and I am a research director at the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies based in Hayama, Japan. So we will be working with three Japanese cities to help demonstrate the different types of health benefits that will come from their climate change planning and then we'll also provide an opportunity for policy makers from those cities to interact and share experiences with Paris, France and Austin, Texas by getting the policy makers and to some extent the politicians directly involved in this co-design process. We can demonstrate how this is locally relevant and also make the connection between not only good policy but also good politics.
