NASA has made new data available that can provide air pollution observations at unprecedented resolutions—down to the scale of individual neighborhoods. The near real-time data comes from the agency’s TEMPO (Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution) instrument, which launched last year to improve life on Earth by revolutionizing the way scientists observe air quality from space….

Climate change is a global challenge often met on a local level. Local governments shape how their communities are developed through land use controls. Their policy decisions related to housing density, location, and building standards have a profound impact on climate—buildings produce nearly 40% of U.S. carbon emissions, and personal vehicles account for 10% of…
