The Intertwined Impacts of Pollution and Inequality on Health

The Intertwined Impacts of Pollution and Inequality on Health

Published 6 years, 10 months ago
Description
Pollution is a much more complex problem than many realise and cannot be resolved solely through global and regional agreements. Pollution is closely connected with behavioural and technology choices, production and consumption practices, industrial processes and pricing policies, financial and business sector orientation and a culture of consumerism and irresponsibility to the environment and impacts on people's health. Only by changing behaviours can we tackle pollution.
