Strengthening Synergies between Electromobility & Air Quality in Latin America

The report details the outcomes of a WRI conference in Bogota, where teams from Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico developed a joint vision to synchronize electric mobility deployment with air quality monitoring. It proposes three primary regional projects: a 'Healthy and Sustainable Path to School' initiative to reduce child exposure to pollutants, a regional health-impact calculator platform (QueTanLimpioEsTuAire.com), and a 'Fleets in Transition' project targeting the decarbonization of urban freight. The document emphasizes a focus on vulnerable populations, including children and the elderly, and aims to position WRI as a regional leader in integrated sustainable transport solutions by 2030.

• The 'Healthy and Sustainable Path to School' project aims to reduce pollutant exposure for children in medium-sized cities across Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico through diagnostics of pollution sources and the implementation of sustainable mobility strategies.
• WRI proposes the creation of a regional platform, QueTanLimpioEsTuAire.com, which will feature a calculator to assess health impacts of transitioning to low- or zero-emission vehicles, focusing on pollutants like black carbon, PM2.5, and PM10.
• The 'Fleets in Transition' initiative focuses on the decarbonization of urban freight systems to improve the health of populations living along freight corridors through zero-emission technology pilots and new public policies.
• WRI's regional strategy prioritizes the health of vulnerable groups, specifically children, pregnant individuals, and the elderly, who are more susceptible to the effects of poor air quality.
