Air Pollution, Climate Change, and NCDs

Air pollution, climate change, and non-communicable diseases are three linked threats to planetary health that share common origins and joint solutions. Yet efforts to address these problems have too often moved down separate paths. It's time to work together, writes Professor of Biology Philip Landrigan, director of BC's Global Observatory on Pollution and Health, who cites the establishment of the observatory as a move in this direction in a piece he co-authored for British medical journal The Lancet.
