The Paris Agreement on Climate Change has the potential to improve air quality and human health by encouraging the electrification of transportation and a transition from coal to sustainable energy. There will be human health benefits from reducing combustion emissions in all parts of the world. Solar powered charging infrastructure for electric vehicles adds renewable energy to generate electricity, shaded parking, and a needed charging infrastructure for electric vehicles that will reduce range anxiety. The costs of wind power, solar panels, and batteries are falling because of technological progress, magnitude of commercial activity, production experience, and competition associated with new trillion dollar markets. These energy and transportation transitions can have a very positive impact on health. The energy, transportation, air quality, climate change, health nexus may benefit from additional progress in developing solar powered charging infrastructure.
《巴黎气候变化协定》有潜力通过鼓励交通运输电气化以及从煤炭向可持续能源转型来改善空气质量和人类健康。在全球各地减少燃烧排放将给人类健康带来益处。电动汽车的太阳能充电基础设施增加了用于发电的可再生能源、有遮阳的停车位以及电动汽车所需的充电基础设施,这将减少里程焦虑。由于技术进步、商业活动规模、生产经验以及与新的万亿美元市场相关的竞争,风能、太阳能板和电池的成本正在下降。这些能源和交通转型会对健康产生非常积极的影响。能源、交通、空气质量、气候变化、健康之间的联系可能会受益于太阳能充电基础设施开发方面的更多进展。
