Background
Human impact on our planet is unprecedented. Long-term changes to the Earth’s environment and climate systems are significant. Air pollution and climate change pose an enormous challenge. More and more countries and global institutions now understand that air pollution is a modern scourge in developing countries, killing more people than war, preventing economic development, and creating dangerously unhealthy urban populations. The World Health Organization (WHO) says that more than 1 in 10 deaths a year across the world are now associated with air pollution, from both household and outdoor sources, and 85% of people worldwide are exposed to pollution that exceeds WHO air quality guidelines for fine particulate matter.
