3 Oct, 2025
Summary
- New tool from Al Gore's climate coalition visualizes spread of air pollution in Louisiana's "Cancer Alley"
- Tool models particulate matter dispersion and links it to fossil fuel emissions and climate change
- Aims to empower communities to hold companies accountable and push for cleaner supply chains

In late September 2025, a new tool called Climate TRACE was introduced at New York Climate Week. Developed by a climate coalition led by former Vice President Al Gore, this tool aims to help Louisiana residents see how the invisible threat of air pollution travels and who is most at risk.
