EfD Chile helps the government tackle air pollution
Body
The Chilean EfD research team has been working alongside government authorities in the design, evaluation, and application of policy strategies to reduce air pollution in highly contaminated cities. In Chile, one of the most severe environmental problems is air pollution due to the burning of wood for heating and cooking in households. The EfD Chile team has been working for over a decade on different studies that will eventually help in designing, implementing, and evaluating control policies in the country. EfD’s team has provided the environmental authorities with the insights needed to create a stove replacement program and has been working alongside them with its design and formulation.
