3🧵 There is also considerable #disparity —both in current & projected health burden of road transport-related pollution — which affects lower-income more than higher-income countries. "The health burden of road transport pollution is distributed unequally, with low-income countries bearing a disproportionate and growing share..." #health #PublicHealth #IncomeDisparity #emissions #VehicleEmissions #environment #pollution #EVs #electrification

"Under current policies, high-income countries are projected to see a 48% decline in road transport-attributable premature deaths by 2050, while...lower-middle-income countries face increases of more than 200%."😳 BUT - "An accelerated transition to electrification could substantially narrow this disparity." 4🧵🧐 /end #health #PublicHealth #emissions #disparity #IncomeDisparity #VehicleEmissions #environment #pollution #EVs #electrification -- https://theicct.org/publication/health-benefits-of-zero-emission-transport-through-2050/

Health benefits of zero-emission transport through 2050 - International Council on Clean Transportation

This report quantifies the health impacts of road transport pollution under five scenarios — from current policies to a full global transition to zero-emission vehicles by 2045 — and finds that ambitious electrification could prevent 8.8 million premature deaths and 1.7 million new pediatric asthma cases through 2050.
