Cutting air pollution and greenhouse gases could save Africa billions while improving health

Lowering air pollution in Africa has many economic benefits, according to new research by environmental scientists Chris Malley, Kevin Hicks and Caroline Sawe. They reflect on two reports that set out the practical ways that African countries can cut air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions at the same time, while saving billions through lower health care costs, fewer days lost to illness and greater productivity.
