Ground-level ozone is an invisible air pollutant that causes significant damage to crops worldwide. Tackling methane emissions, one of the precursors, could be the key to curbing rising background levels of ozone.
AirClim has now published a new factsheet highlighting how methane emissions contribute to rising background ozone levels and how reducing methane can deliver rapid benefits for crops, farmers, and food security.

Over the past year, AirClim has been forced to make difficult organisational decisions. We have reduced our staff from four to two and closed our office in Gothenburg.
More than 180,000 deaths in the EU in 2023 were attributable to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) levels above World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines, according to a new assessment from the European Environment Agency (EEA).
Shipping activity is most heavily concentrated in ports, and so are its pollution and emissions. Over 6% of Europe’s maritime GHG emissions occur during port operations, alongside high levels of air pollutants such as sulphur dioxide (SO2) and particulate matter (PM2.5). Cutting these emissions is critical to improving urban air quality and protecting public health.
