Exposure to air pollution in England, 2003–23 | Institute for Fiscal Studies We set out how air pollution (PM2.5) has changed across England and explore inequalities by ethnicity, income deprivation, region and age.

Our IFS report on air pollution is out! Good news first: air pollution (PM2.5) has HALVED in England since 2003, with a big drop during Covid. There's no rebound post Covid, somewhat puzzlingly. We use DEFRA data, monitoring station data shows the same thing. (1/7)

Reducing the cost of capital to finance the energy transition in developing countries - Nature Energy Fair finance in the energy sector is modelled in five climate–energy–economy models. The results show that convergence costs of capital could improve energy availability, affordability and sustainabil...

Interesting-looking new global #energytransition study in Nature Energy. Cost of capital varies strongly among countries but much global modeling does not take this into account. This new study does 1/2 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
