Climate and Air Quality Are Closely Linked, Report Highlights

Climate Extremes Are Making the Global Air Pollution Fight Harder | Science-Environment

Progress in reducing pollution from industry and transport is increasingly colliding with a different threat: worsening wildfire smoke and heat-driven ozone. The World Meteorological Organization’s latest Air Quality and Climate Bulletin argues that climate and air-quality policy can no longer be treated as separate agendas as extreme fires, rising temperatures and poorly monitored pollutants reshape exposure risks worldwide.

Climate and air quality are closely linked, report highlights

An increase in pollution from wildfires and heat waves risks undermining international efforts to improve air quality and protect human and ecosystem health, according to a new report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), which traces the complex interrelationships between air quality and climate.

As Fires Increase, It Will Be Harder To Meet WHO Clean Air Standards

Meeting the World Health Organization (WHO) air quality guidelines will become progressively more difficult, as fires are expected to increase in the future, according to a new report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The report also draws attention to the complex relationship between air quality and climate change, showing how poor air quality – […]

WMO bulletin shows air quality and climate interlinkages

The sixth WMO Air Quality and Climate Bulletin examines links between air quality and climate change, highlighting aerosol impacts, wildfire smoke, ozone pollution and atmospheric monitoring needs.
