Circular Economy and Pollution Management

https://www.worldbank.org/en/topic/pollution Pollution is a major barrier to development - damaging health, constraining economic growth, degrading ecosystems, deepening poverty and inequality, and significantly contributing to climate change. Industrialization, agrochemical use, urbanization, forest fires, burning biomass for residential heating and cooking, and poor waste management have intensified environmental health risks, especially in low- and middle-income countries. The most vulnerable populations, least able to protect themselves, bear the greatest burden.
