GENEVA (AN) — Air pollution levels exceed recommended health limits in all but 10 mainly European countries, but most lowered carbon emissions and expanded forest cover in recent years, a U.N. regional commission reported on Tuesday.
The report from the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, or UNECE, is the first to study its 56 member nations' progress toward the U.N.'s 17 anti-poverty Sustainable Development Goals for 2030. UNECE said it looked at nations through the lens of 49 key performance indicators.
