This report introduces the concept of Sustainable First Mover Initiatives (SFMIs)33333. These are $1.5^{\circ}C$ Paris Agreement-aligned efforts designed to transition the shipping sector away from fossil fuels toward electrofuels (such as e-hydrogen, e-ammonia, and e-methanol)44444. The resource focuses on the role of ports as critical hubs for this transition, especially in the Global South, ensuring that decarbonization provides social, economic, and environmental co-benefits to local communities555555555.

The Air Quality Life Index (AQLI) converts air pollution concentrations into their impact on life expectancy. Through the AQLI’s hyper-local data, users anywhere on Earth can zoom into their district and see how much longer they would live if policies were to reduce pollution to meet the World Health Organization’s guideline, a national standard, or a user-defined target. This information can help inform local communities and policymakers about the benefits of air pollution policies in perhaps the most important measure that exists: longer lives.
