In China, according to the World Health Organization, ambient air pollution was responsible for 1.1 million deaths in 2016. Similarly, in India, air pollution contributed to 1.2 million deaths in 2017.

China and India have been rapidly scaling up renewable energy and are both on the way to meeting climate targets and improving air quality. China has begun to shut down coal power plants and to heavily invest on renewable sources of energy. In India, the population has become increasingly more aware of the detrimental consequences of air pollution and started several campaigns, one of which brought more than 5,000 children together to form a human image of a lung to raise awareness of the respiratory problems caused by air pollution.

Many countries have been attempting to decrease carbon emissions while investing in clean sources of energy: Indonesia must also start divesting from coal and moving more quickly to renewables. It is high time to acknowledge the health costs of coal.
