"There has been an assumption that adverse conditions impacting climate change and air pollution are the same thing.

Key Points: 
  • "There has been an assumption that adverse conditions impacting climate change and air pollution are the same thing.
  • This is not necessarily true," says Richard Fuller, Board Chair of the Global Alliance on Health and Pollution (GAHP) and a co-author of the report.
  • "We wanted to see where the overlaps are, where investments can be directed that will improve health and also impact climate change."
  • The report, Air Pollution Interventions: Seeking the Intersection Between Climate and Health , finds that "the single most effective action to achieve co-benefits that improve health and impact climate change is to phase out the use of coal (and other fossil fuels, such as lignite and tar products) for power production."
