Air pollution, a growing threat in Africa, is the second leading cause of death after malnutrition in Sub-Saharan Africa and the main environmental risk factor for death in North Africa. According to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), outdoor air pollution is projected to increase the yearly number of premature deaths from 930,000 in 2030 to 1.6 million by 2063. These statistics are startling, bearing in mind that we are in the midst of a climate crisis. The report, titled Major Air Polluters in Africa Unmasked, examines air pollution in Africa and uncovers major air polluters on the continent. The report highlights the massive impact air pollution has on public health across the continent. It also calls on governments and legislators to make a just transition towards clean, renewable energy and end dependence on fossil fuels to promote the wellbeing of Africans and the environment. The report further recognises the efforts of communities across various regions in Africa, who are making a difference by improving air quality.
