Moreover, electric vehicles don’t produce any harmful emissions, reducing the air pollutants in cities significantly. Producing and promoting more sustainable vehicles will offer commuters more transport options and reduce a city’s carbon emissions. A great example is a biofuel. Introduces alternative fuel solutions.

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.
