Where these figures come from
Noncommunicable diseases at 74% of global deaths in 2023 comes from the WHO Global Health Estimates released 2 October 2026. The 99% of people breathing air above WHO guidelines and about 7 million annual deaths from air pollution (WHO air pollution estimates, 2019) are WHO air-quality figures. The 2.1 billion people without safely managed drinking water and 3.4 billion without safely managed sanitation come from the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme report Progress on household drinking water, sanitation and hygiene 2000–2024 (August 2025). More than 1 billion people living with a mental disorder — about 1 in 7 people — comes from WHO’s World Mental Health Today and Mental Health Atlas 2024 (September 2025). Each figure links to its official source in the tool above.
