Abstract
New Initiative aims at expanding Global Burden of Disease estimates for pollution and climate
Highlights
The concept of the Initiative originated from the 2017 Lancet Commission on pollution and health.[1]
This report estimated that in 2015 pollution was responsible for 9 million premature deaths and 268 million disabilityadjusted life-years, with the most severe impacts in low-income and middle-income countries, and called for the establishment of a Global Pollution Observatory to aggregate, analyse, archive, and disseminate data on pollution and pollution-related disease in cities and countries worldwide
The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study limits its analysis to environmental risk factor-disease pairs for which there is definitive evidence of causality
Summary
The concept of the Initiative originated from the 2017 Lancet Commission on pollution and health.[1]. New Initiative aims at expanding Global Burden of Disease estimates for pollution and climate
