This report identifies 25 clean air measures that can positively impact human health, crop yields, climate change, and socio-economic development as well as contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Implementing these measures could help 1 billion people breathe cleaner air by 2030 and reduce global warming by a third of a degree Celsius by 2050.
This report links state-of-the-art models on vehicle emissions, air pollution, and epidemiological models to determine how, when, and where transportation emissions are impacting air quality and public health. It advances beyond examining the transportation sector as a whole, evaluating the health burden attributable to specific subsectors: on-road diesel vehicles, on-road non-diesel vehicles, shipping, and non-road mobile sources that include agricultural and construction equipment and rail transportation.
This report is the first-ever comprehensive scientific assessment of the air pollution outlook in the Asia and the Pacific region. It outlines 25 clean air measures that could achieve safe air quality levels for 1 billion people by 2030, with numerous benefits for public health, economic development, and the climate.
This Guidance Note aims to illustrate how the consideration of ESG factors may inform the forecasting of financials, such as revenues, operating costs and capital expenditure, etc. in the context of assessing an infrastructure asset. It selects twelve ESG factors and identifies their potential risks and opportunities for infrastructure assets as they may emerge throughout an asset’s life cycle (development, construction, operation, and decommissioning). It then sets out to quantify these risks and opportunities for the purpose of developing or adjusting the financial forecasts of such assets.
This environmental performance review shows that while Turkey's strong economic growth has been relatively decoupled from air emissions, energy use, waste generation, and water consumption, the country still faces many environmental challenges.
On 19 December 2018 (6:00 PM - 7:00 PM CET), the Energy Future Exchange is hosting a webinar on "Clean Air for All - reducing transport-related emissions with legal action".
