Air pollution is estimated to cause around 48,881 adult deaths a year in Nepal and more than 25,000 deaths in Ethiopia, alongside significant health harm across Malawi's fast-growing cities. To combat this, researchers from the University of Surrey have developed three new evidence-based toolkits, co-authored with local partners in each country, to help planners and leaders use urban greening to cut exposure to pollution, cool overheating streets and ease flood risk.
