nationally determined contributions (NDCs) serve to meet the goals of Paris Agreement staying "well below 2°C", which could also yield substantial health co-benefits in process. However, existing NDC commitments are inadequate achieve this goal. Placing as a key focus NDCs present an opportunity increase ambition and realise co-benefits. We modelled scenarios analyse for year 2040 nine representative countries (ie, Brazil, China, Germany, India, Indonesia, Nigeria, South Africa, UK, USA)...
<b>Objective</b> To investigate the effect of reducing home ventilation as part household energy efficiency measures on deaths from radon related lung cancer. <b>Design</b> Modelling study. <b>Setting</b> England. <b>Intervention</b> Home interventions, motivated in by targets for greenhouse gases, which entail reduction uncontrolled keeping with good practice guidance. <b>Main outcome measures</b> Modelled current and future distributions indoor levels English housing stock associated...
<h3>Objective</h3> Dietary changes which improve health are also likely to be beneficial for the environment by reducing emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG). However, previous analyses have not accounted potential acceptability low GHG diets general public. This study attempted quantify effects associated with adopting emission in UK. <h3>Design</h3> Epidemiological modelling study. <h3>Setting</h3> <h3>Participants</h3> UK population. <h3>Intervention</h3> Adoption optimised achieve WHO...
The urban heat island (UHI) is a well-known effect of urbanisation and particularly important in world megacities. Overheating such cities expected to be exacerbated the future as result further growth climate change. Demonstrating quantifying impact individual design interventions on UHI currently difficult using available software tools. tools developed LUCID (‘The Development Local Urban Climate Model its Application Intelligent Design Cities’) research project will enable related impacts...
Objective To assess potential public health impacts of changes to indoor air quality and temperature due energy efficiency retrofits in English dwellings meet 2030 carbon reduction targets. Design Health impact modelling study. Setting England. Participants household population. Intervention Three retrofit scenarios were modelled: (1) fabric ventilation installed assuming building regulations are met; (2) as with scenario but additional for homes at risk poor ventilation; (3) no illustrate...
The exposome includes urban greenspace, which may affect health via a complex set of pathways, including reducing exposure to particulate matter (PM) and noise. We assessed these pathways using indoor monitoring data from the HEALS study in four European areas (Edinburgh, UK; Utrecht, Netherlands; Athens Thessaloniki, Greece).We quantified three metrics residential greenspace at 50 m 100 buffers: Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), annual tree cover density, surrounding green land...
Agriculture is a major contributor to India's environmental footprint, particularly through greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from livestock and fresh water used for irrigation. These impacts are likely increase in future as agriculture attempts keep pace with growing population changing dietary preferences. Within India there considerable variation, this study therefore aimed quantify the GHG usage associated distinct patterns. Five diets were identified Indian Migration Study - large adult...
Socioeconomically disadvantaged populations often have higher exposures to particulate air pollution, which can be expected contribute differentials in life expectancy. We examined socioeconomic exposure and pollution-related mortality relating larger scale (5 km resolution) variations background concentrations of selected pollutants across England. Ozone matter (sub-divided into PM10, PM2.5, PM2.5–10, primary, nitrate sulphate PM2.5) were simulated at 5 horizontal resolution using an...
James Milner and colleagues argue that carefully considered policies to lower carbon emissions can also improve health, we should use these benefits push for strong climate action
