Carlos Dora, a WHO public health expert, called on governments and health【C14】______to act on the evidence and【C15】______policies to reduce air pollution, which【C16】______would improve health and reduce humans’【C17】______on climate change. "Excessive air pollution is often a by-product of unsustainable policies in【C18】______such as transport, energy, waste management and industry, " he said. "In most cases, healthier【C19】______will also be more economical in the long term due to healthcare cost savings as well as climate【C20】______."
