Air pollution: Tools for cleaner, healthier air in cities

The Urban Health Initiative promotes tools and guidance to assess the health impacts of air pollution and the health benefits of sustainable development in energy, transportation, land-use and waste. These tools provide urban leaders and health policy-makers with estimates of the health impacts of air pollution and short-lived climate pollutants (e.g. black carbon and methane). The tools also support scenario modelling of cleaner developments in key sectors such as waste, energy and transport which reduce air pollution emissions and yield other health benefits.
