Report: NDCs do not sufficiently consider clean air

Around two-thirds of all countries do not sufficiently anchor measures against air pollution in their national climate plans (NDCs). This is the conclusion of a report by the Global Climate and Health Alliance (GCHA). The association represents more than 100 organizations working on the impacts of climate change on health. GCHA presented the report at the Global Health Summit held in Berlin from October 15 to 17. While countries such as Colombia or Mali have exemplarily integrated air pollution into their plans, G20 countries often omit this, GCHA said.
