Air Pollution and Environmental Justice in Latin America: Where Are We and How Can We Move Forward?

AI’s contribution to combating climate change and achieving environmental justice in the global economy

“…Reeder et al (2022) argued for the key role of environmental justice organizations and the spread of conflict over mining in Latin America. In turn, Gouveia et al (2022) proved the connection between air pollution and environmental justice in Latin America. Du and Sun (2022b) argued the need for collaborative air pollution prevention and control from a global community environmental justice perspective (based on a two-stage dynamic game model).…”

Just Transition on air quality governance: a case study of heavy-duty diesel truck protests in Taiwan

“…Although there are many excellent papers on air pollution inequalities, most studies have focused on environmental justice and explored social inequalities (ethnicity, disadvantaged groups, and socioeconomic conditions), the spatial distribution of health impacts, and the distribution of high pollution sources (e.g., the petrochemical industry) concerning air pollution and health, rather than inequalities caused by policy interventions in governance—Just Transition (Perera 2018 ; Hill et al 2019 ; Fairburn et al 2019 ; Samoli et al 2019 ; Fowlie et al 2020 ; Kopas et al 2020 ; Symanski et al 2020 ; Pierangeli et al 2020 ; Tessum et al 2021 ; Davide et al 2022 ; Gouveia et al 2022 ; Mullen et al 2022 ). In comparison, few studies have focused on air quality governance and Just Transition.…”

Deprivation based inequality in NOxemissions in England

“…Air pollution is an established danger to human health [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] and is associated with a wide range of poor health outcomes. Furthermore, inequality in air pollution exposure based on demographic factors is a global issue, with evidence from Europe, 8 Korea, 9 Australia, 10 Ethiopia, 11 Latin America 12 and China 13 showing that disadvantaged populations have higher ambient concentrations of a range of air pollutants.…”
