Yet, decades of intergovernmental negotiations have failed to curb toxic levels of fossil fuel energy-related air pollution which the World Health Organization (WHO) has identified as the world's largest, single environmental health risk. Lying in plain view are the troubling truths about the morbidity and ill-health burdens associated with anthropogenic climate change that are borne by those who have done the least to contribute to per capita emissions of greenhouse gas emissions. Ignoring the nexus between air pollution, lack of access to clean energy and climate adversities represents a collective failure of the UN's ambitious, universally agreed upon 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda (SDA) which pledged 'to leave no one behind' .Subject: Destroying Lives and Evidenced in Plain Sight; Identifying the Locus for Global Action on Ciean Energy and Climate Change within the UN; Looking Beyond the Global Climate Change Negotiations Silo; On the Frontlines for Clean Air and Climate Action; The Urgency of Curbing SLCPs; The Nexus between Mitigation Air Pollution and Climate Change is Crucial Online Resources:Table of contents Item type:
