Накратко на български

Въздействието на замърсения въздух (външен и домашен) върху здравето се анализира според доходите и социалния статус на хората. Това помага да се разбере кои групи от населението страдат най-много и как различни климатични сценарии влияят върху тях.

Integrated analysis of air pollution, human health and income inequality for alternative climate change scenarios.

The objective of the project is to integrate inequality considerations into the estimation of health impacts attributable to both ambient and household air pollution under various socioeconomic and climate mitigation scenarios co-produced with relevant stakeholders. This integration would allow to assess the contributions of different countries and population groups to air pollution and identify those most affected. While scientific literature had extensively analysed the impacts of ambient for human health, and the potential co-benefits of decarbonization, existing analyses usually focused on the region level, without diving into the impacts for different population groups. Likewise, household air pollution was often ignored and not considered in this type of studies, and it is a major risk factor, particularly in the Global South. In this context, GRAPHICS addresses a critical gap in the literature by incorporating both ambient and household air pollution impacts, offering a valuable contribution that will be of broad interest to both scientific and policy communities.

Цел на проекта

Air pollution is the fourth global risk for human health, causing up to 6-8 million deaths annually worldwide. The main anthropogenic driver of air pollution is fossil fuel combustion, which is also the main source of greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, the implementation of alternative long-term mitigation strategies, aligned with the Paris Agreement, the European Green Deal, or the promotion of the Sustainable Development Goals will have direct implications for human health attributable to air pollution. While different studies have estimated health impacts attributable to long-term exposure to ambient air pollution, these have focused on the region level, and do not incorporate population heterogeneity considerations (e.g. income groups). Furthermore, household air pollution is normally ignored in global scenario analysis. In this framework, the aim of the GRAPHICS project is to include population heterogeneity in the analysis of health impacts attributable to ambient and household air pollution. First, GRAPHICS will explore which is the current and future contribution of different population groups to air pollution for alternative scenarios at regional level. Then, the project will estimate the health impacts attributable to air pollution for the different groups in a business as usual scenario, and how they benefit from the implementation of alternative scenarios, co-designed with multilevel stakeholders, that represent different socioeconomic narratives, policies to reduce income inequality, air pollution control policies, or deep decarbonization strategies. For that purpose, GRAPHICS will apply a unique, open-source, integrated methodology that subsequently links an enhanced integrated assessment model with air quality tools developed during the project. GRAPHICS will make me grow professionally and achieve the next step in my research career, and it will open avenues for future research that will also benefit the hosting and collaborating institutions.
