The transport sector alone is responsible for 23% of carbon emissions from energy use globally, with up to 40% of this coming from urban areas (Coalition for Urban Transition, 2019).

Local air pollution (and global climate change) ; 4. I have been advocating this since the writing of my Master’s thesis at Audencia all the way back to 2006. Any energy use entails carbon emissions, some more than others. Biking could solve or help solve a laundry list of issues such as: 1.

At issue in this case is whether and how the EPA can set standards for carbon emissions at power plants. EPA , the landmark 2007 decision that said the EPA has the authority to regulate carbon dioxide emitted from new motor vehicles. Climate Change on the Docket.

On the other hand, several studies have shown that the combination of the price signal created by RGGI and the investment of allowance auction proceeds in other environmental programs has been the dominant driver of the recent emissions decline in the region.

None of that means climate change isn’t, and won’t continue to be, a factor in global health, particularly if action to prevent it also reduces air pollution, or removes other health stressors. Carbon emissions are thus following the same trajectory as other air pollutants.
