The 2020 report of The Lancet Countdown on health and climate change: responding to converging crises

  • "Premature deaths from ambient PM2·5 attributed to coal use are rapidly declining, falling from 440 000 deaths in 2015 to 390 000 deaths in 2018. However, total deaths from ambient PM2·5 have increased slightly during this time period, from 2·95 million deaths in 2015 to 3·01 million deaths in 2018, highlighting the need for accelerated intervention"
  • In Europe and China, mortality from air pollution decreased from 2015 to 2018 as a result of the implementation of technologies to control emissions and reductions in the use of raw coal in the power and residential sectors.
  • "91% of deaths from ambient air pollution occur in low-income and middle-income countries"
  • "Decreases were also seen in the contribution from biomass burning to ambient PM2·5 deaths (about 410 000 deaths in 2015, decreasing to 360000 deaths in 2018) and were mostly due to the increasing access to cleaner household fuels (although, 2·6 billion people still rely on fuelwood combustion in the home)."
