While global burned area from wildfires has declined due to land use changes, many regions are experiencing more intense fire seasons, with more people living in high-risk areas.
Because cities play a major role in air quality and climate health, it is essential that they establish high-resolution air quality monitoring networks.
As climate change progresses and environmental disasters that contribute to air pollution intensify, it is more important than ever to have resilient air quality monitoring.
Climate change and air pollution are both global environmental crises with enormous health, economic, and environmental impacts — but also environmental justice issues.
Many air pollutants — beyond just CO2 — also have an impact on climate change and atmospheric warming, opening the door for further climate change mitigation opportunities.
By better understanding the relationship between air pollution, fossil fuels, and a changing climate, air quality co-benefits can be quantified to incentivize climate change action
