Energy and Health: Global Climate Policy and the Future of Air Quality Co-Benefits in LMICs

Health benefits of decarbonization and clean air policies in Beijing and China
Open AccessGregor Kiesewetter, Shaohui Zhang et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024
Although China has seen strong reductions in air pollution levels in the last decade, PM 2.5 concentrations still exceed the WHO Guideline several times, causing a substantial burden of mortality and morbidity. With many 'low hanging fruits' in terms of abatement measures already taken, further improvements will be more difficult and likely require different strategies than pursued so far. This study looks into the trends expected under current e…

Projecting the impact of air pollution on child stunting in India—synergies and trade-offs between climate change mitigation, ambient air quality control, and clean cooking access
Open AccessAsya Dimitrova, Guillaume Marois et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022
Many children in India face the double burden of high exposure to ambient (AAP) and household air pollution, both of which can affect their linear growth. Although climate change mitigation is expected to decrease AAP, climate policies could increase the cost of clean cooking fuels. Here, we develop a static microsimulation model to project the air pollution-related burden of child stunting in India up to 2050 under four scenarios combining clima…

Air quality and health implications of 1.5 °C–2 °C climate pathways under considerations of ageing population: A multi-model scenario analysis
Open AccessPeter Rafaj, Gregor Kiesewetter et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021
Low-carbon pathways consistent with the 2 °C and 1.5 °C long-term climate goals defined in the Paris Agreement are likely to induce substantial co-benefits for air pollution and associated health impacts. In this analysis, using five global integrated assessment models, we quantify the emission reductions in key air pollutants resulting from the decarbonization of energy systems and the resulting changes in premature mortality attributed to the e…
Health impacts of fine particles under climate change mitigation, air quality control, and demographic change in India
Open AccessAsya Dimitrova, Guillaume Marois et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021
Despite low per capita emissions, with over a billion population, India is pivotal for climate change mitigation globally, ranking as the third largest emitter of greenhouse gases. We linked a previously published multidimensional population projection with emission projections from an integrated assessment model to quantify the localised (i.e. state-level) health benefits from reduced ambient fine particulate matter in India under global climate…

The 2019 report of The Lancet Countdown on health and climate change: Ensuring that the health of a child born today is not defined by a changing climate
Open AccessNick Watts, Markus Amann et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2019
The Lancet Countdown is an international, multidisciplinary collaboration, dedicated to monitoring the evolving health profile of climate change, and providing an independent assessment of the delivery of commitments made by governments worldwide under the Paris Agreement.

Urban versus rural health impacts attributable to PM 2.5 and O 3 in northern India
Open AccessAlexandra Karambelas, Tracey Holloway et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018
Ambient air pollution in India contributes to negative health impacts and early death. Ground-based monitors often used to quantify health impacts are located in urban regions, yet approximately 70% of India's population lives in rural communities. We simulate high-resolution concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM) and ozone from the regional Community Multi-scale Air Quality model over northern India, including updated estimates of anthro…
Outlook for clean air in the context of sustainable development goals
Open AccessPeter Rafaj, Gregor Kiesewetter et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2018Cited by: 3
Air pollution is linked with many of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Strategies aiming at the improved air quality interact directly with climate mitigation targets, access to clean energy services, waste management, and other aspects of socio-economic development. Continuation of current policies in the key emitting sectors implies that a number of sustainability goals will likely not be met within the next two decades: emissio…
