New Online: Effects of the low-carbon energy transition on air pollution and health
Effects of the low-carbon energy transition on air pollution and health - Nature Reviews Clean Technology
The transition to a low-carbon energy system is expected to have both pollution and health impacts, across multiple scales. This Perspective provides an overview of the factors that determine the scale and distribution of these impacts and outlines potential approaches to including health benefits in decision-making about energy transitions.

Could the EV transition be a double-edged sword?
Research led by @weipengclimate.bsky.social reveals that while EVs are key to a sustainable future, they could create air pollution hotspots in China & India due to increased SO2 emissions from refining minerals like nickel & cobalt.

In a recent perspective, Chris Greig and Sam Uden call for a reconsideration of how to navigate the risks of transforming energy systems in only a handful of decades.
