AI Summary
A World Meteorological Organization report warns that rising pollution from wildfires and heat waves could undermine global air‑quality improvement efforts and harm human and ecosystem health. The study maps the complex links between climate change and air‑quality outcomes. It calls for better atmospheric monitoring of fine particulate matter, ground‑level ozone, black carbon, and microplastics—pollutants that are widespread but currently under‑observed. The report stresses that enhanced data collection is essential to protect health and ecosystems amid a warming climate.
