Open Phil / CoeffG has a fund focusing on air quality, so I suppose you’re saying “no it’s still relatively neglected, more resources should be allocated”?
You are correct. While funding for air quality improvement has increased in past few years, it is relatively neglected compared to the attention required and impact on human lives. The scale of interventions by various stakeholders (including governments) is extremely low compared to the impact of the problem and one major factor could be low funding. Discloser: Open Phil has been a supporter of my employer (Air Pollution Action Group (A-PAG)).
