Integrated assessment of air pollution and climate change for sustainable development in Africa
This new assessment from the African Union Commission, the Climate and Clean Air Coalition, and the UN Environment Programme, developed by African scientists in a process led by SEI, shows how African leaders can act quickly across five key areas — transport, residential, energy, agriculture, and waste — to fight climate change, prevent air pollution, and protect human health. Air pollution and climate change are a deadly duo for Africa, and must be tackled together. Air pollutants and greenhouse gases often share the same sources and can be even more dangerous when combined.
