Climate change is having a measurable affect on air high quality and due to this fact human well being, which means the 2 should be tackled collectively and never in isolation, a report launched by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) on Wednesday confirmed.
“Heatwaves worsen air quality, with knock-on effects on human health, ecosystems, agriculture and indeed our daily lives,” stated WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas in an announcement.
“Climate change and air quality cannot be treated separately. They go hand-in-hand and must be tackled together to break this vicious cycle,” he added.

Examples cited within the report embrace the north-western United States, the place heatwaves triggered wildfires, in addition to heatwaves accompanied by desert mud intrusions throughout Europe.
Both led to harmful air high quality in 2022.
Brazilian case research cited within the report confirmed how parks and tree-covered areas inside cities can enhance air high quality, take in carbon dioxide and decrease temperatures, thus benefiting inhabitants.
