Climate Change

Implementing wildfire prevention strategies at the individual and agency levels, establishing resilient air quality monitoring networks, and understanding how severely wildfire and poor air quality impact our national parks can help preserve them.

TL;DR — Ports and logistics operations are major sources of harmful air pollution that affects air quality and climate health both locally and at the global scales — especially as maritime shipping becomes increasingly prominent globally. By implementing effective air quality monitoring and port emission reduction strategies, we can work to reduce these negative impacts and promote more environmentally friendly global supply chains.

Air pollution patterns vary uniquely based on a multitude of factors, from season to time of day to the given meteorological variables at play, as well as in connection with climate change and human behavior. By better understanding when the worst times for air pollution are, we can better tailor policy and action to achieve cleaner air.

We're sharing our major takeaways from Clean Air Fund's 2023 State of Global Air Quality Funding report, highlighting major trends in air quality funding around the globe.

The summer season can impact air quality due to its high temperatures and weather patterns, which can not only increase the concentration of harmful air pollutants such as ground-level ozone but also degrade air quality and threaten human health through air stagnation, heat waves, drought, and an increased risk of wildfire.

The impacts of air pollution and climate change cannot be contained to one geographical area, making it essential for different levels of government — including local, state, and national agencies — to cooperate to mitigate these environmental crises.

Renewable sources of energy, like wind and solar, are an increasingly viable alternative to fossil fuels and have vast benefits for air quality and the climate.

We're exploring air pollution and agriculture's two-way relationship as we recognize the ways that both impact each other, especially as compounded by climate change.

We're sharing the major takeaways from our webinar, covering topics from air pollution sources to monitoring network design to effectively leveraging air quality data.

As the 2022 midterm elections quickly approach, we're taking a look at the different environmentally-oriented state propositions and key electoral races.
