Purpose of Review <p>This review article outlines the racial disparities in air pollution that contribute to the cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality gap in minoritized racial and ethnic groups. It offers a compelling framework to address this gap through greenification, emphasizing the need for immediate action.</p> Recent Findings <p>Although medical advancements have reduced cardiovascular-related mortality, racial disparities persist. Air pollution increases cardiovascular risk and disproportionately affects racial and ethnic minority groups and individuals with adverse social determinants of health. Greenification is the creation of environmentally conscious processes in areas with significant pollution, such as green spaces in urban areas. Green spaces in urban areas created to reduce disparities can aid in addressing communities disproportionately affected by air pollution.</p> Summary <p>Greenification can be utilized to help mitigate the gap of cardiovascular mortality in racial and ethnic minority groups and individuals with poor social determinants of health.</p>
