On April 7, we discussed solutions for clean air with guests Ashley Charlotte People & Marion Jane Cros.
Highlights from the conversation include:
- A breakdown of the staggering scale of the issue. Nearly 1 billion people are exposed to hazardous air pollution across the Indo-Gangetic Plains and Himalayan Foothills.
- Air pollution is a complex mix of pollutants from various sources such as household cooking, industry, transportation, agriculture, & waste.
- This is a transboundary issue that requires regional collaboration.
Clean air isn’t just an environmental issue; it’s a public health priority, an economic strategy, and a regional cooperation challenge all in one.
Be sure to join us on June 5th for our next episode where we will discuss air quality in Latin America and Mexico with guest Beatriz Cardenas.
Science on the 7th will be streaming live at 9am EDT (1pm GMT), on the 7th of each month on SoGA’s YouTube page. Catch up on past conversations here.
