Clean Air Fund

Striking new images capture how black carbon pollution is harming communities and the environment, as well as solutions to reduce emissions. The photos are part of Climate Visuals’ new collection of over 200 free-to-use images, taken in Kenya, Nepal, Nigeria and Brazil.

New evidence shows climate models tend to misrepresent black carbon’s climate effects across highly polluted regions. The result is a potential bias that understates some of the super pollutant’s climate effects, which risks undermining mitigation efforts.

Philanthropic funding to improve air quality is stagnating, despite air pollution being the largest environmental threat to human health. Our latest research shows how targeted investments, especially in the world's most polluted regions, can make the greatest impact at a time of declining development assistance and increasing global challenges.
