The European Parliament adopted stricter legally-binding air pollution limits that must be complied with by 2030. Ambitious policies to reduce air pollution would also lead to welfare improvements from lower mortality and illness. There would be additional health and environmental benefits if other countries in the world scaled up their air pollution policy action. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://uk.investing.com/news/economy/eu-parliament-adopts-new-rules-to-improve-air-quality-by-2030-3451360&ved=2ahUKEwjPqOr2gNuFAxW4SPEDHVlcDoEQFnoECDYQAQ&usg=AOvVaw3Ph0-RdteqZqZtNl7Q1O7o

Joe Biden marked Monday’s Earth Day by announcing a $7 billion investment in solar energy projects nationwide, focusing on disadvantaged communities, and unveiling a week-long series of what the White House say will be historic climate actions. The centerpiece was the announcement of $7 billion in grants through the Environmental Protection Agency’s “solar for all” program, funded by last year’s $369 billion Inflation Reduction Act, and which Biden said will benefit hundreds of thousands of mostly low-income families who currently spend up to 30 percent of their income on energy. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/biden-unveil-7-billion-rooftop-solar-earth-day-message-2024-04-22/
