Background Community air pollution science serves as a vital tool in public health and urban planning, enabling communities to advocate for policy changes that improve public health outcomes. Despite its potential, there is a noticeable gap in translating research findings into policy actions.
Objectives This review aims to assess the focus of studies on community air pollution science published between 1990-2023 and identify the extent to which these studies address the research-to-policy gap.
Abstract
This dissertation explores the interconnected dynamics of agricultural productivity, climate resilience, and sustainable land management in rural Ethiopia. It evaluates the effects of targeted conservation information on productivity, examines the role of public works in resource conservation and labor engagement, and analyzes the impact of land cover changes on agricultural output.
