Thriving Planet | Changing how the world works | University of Birmingham University of Birmingham 2024-07-29 | Poor air quality is recognised as the largest environmental cause of disease and premature death. Our experts are responsible for one of three UK Air Quality Supersites monitoring the atmosphere in fine detail to understand factors contributing to air pollution. Working across the West Midlands, researchers within the WM-Air programme are working with key regional partners to apply air quality data to local initiatives and provide evidence to shape the global policy debate. Access to clean water is a similarly critical climate issue. Water is increasingly seen as the ‘climate connector’, offering opportunities to collaborate on sustainable management across research disciplines, societies and governments. Researchers at the University of Birmingham are leading investigations such as the 100 Plastic Rivers programme, assessing the risk from nano- and microplastics in rivers; and providing new models and data to help governments better understand how to address global inequalities in water security.
