By reducing air pollution, we can save and improve millions of lives. We can also tackle climate change, build fairer societies and strengthen economies. Clean air measures enable governments, donors and policy makers to maximise their resources and unlock climate and health benefits.
Here are some recent publications, case studies and briefings which we hope you will find helpful:
Analysis of funding from international development donors to tackle air pollution
The only global analysis of funding from international development donors to tackle air pollution. We highlight trends and gaps in international aid and public climate finance spending from 2018 to 2022. We also give recommendations for governments, bilateral donors and multilateral development banks to tackle dirty air and climate change together.
The case for action on tropospheric ozone: Policy brief
Integrated action on tropospheric ozone will be crucial for mitigating climate change, delivering clean air and supporting food security. This policy outlines the latest science on tropospheric ozone, examples of solutions, and recommendations for policymakers, funders and governments.
The case for action on black carbon: Policy brief
Reducing black carbon emissions will help in avoiding climate tipping points, building resilience and delivering clean air. In partnership with the Center for Study of Science, Technology and Policy, this policy brief outlines the latest science on black carbon, examples of cost effective solutions, and recommendations for policymakers, funders and governments.
Benefits of Integrating Black Carbon into Enhanced NDCs: Policy brief
Cutting black carbon emissions is critical for averting near-term warming, supporting adaptation and promoting climate-resilient development. This policy brief gives governments guidance to integrate black carbon into their enhanced climate plans or nationally determined contributions (NDCs).
