Solving the Air Pollution Crisis – for Human and Planetary Health

Don't miss Climate Action's upcoming webinar taking place early next month on World Environment Day - 5th June 2017 - which will be gathering influential experts who are tackling the problem of air pollution and its impact on both human and planetary health.  Join a conversation with the Climate & Clean Air Coalition (UN Environment) and Aclima on policies and technologies to cut air pollution.

 

Air pollution is the single largest environmentally-related global health risk. One quarter of the global population is breathing unsafe air and 7 million people die annually from diseases related to air pollution (according to the WHO). Most of these emissions also contribute significantly to climate change.



What will be discussed?

• The IEA has concluded that global air pollution needs to be cut by 50% by 2040 in its Clean Air Scenario. What actions need to be taken now?
• What are the most effective policies to reduce air pollution in cities?
• How crucial is air quality data collection? Measuring in order to manage. How can technology support cities in finding local solutions to air pollution?
