Ambient and household air pollution together cause millions of premature deaths each year, concentrated in low- and middle-income countries, yet receive a small fraction of climate-and-health funding relative to scale. This founding report quantifies the burden, distinguishes air pollution from climate change as a distinct mortality problem, and prioritizes interventions — especially the neglected sub-area of household air pollution.
