Spectacular! NYC’s congestion pricing program reduced health-harming air pollution by more than 20% inside the affected zone. That is a huge benefit to everyone who lives or works in the zone. @docsforclimate.bsky.social @gchalliance.bsky.social @climatemuseum.bsky.social @nyclimate.bsky.social

“2024 saw record deaths from #AirPollution from wildfires driven by climate change, showing the urgency of curbing emissions to stop this insane death spiral. Action on super pollutants...is our emergency brake to decisively slow global warming.” @nina-ren.bsky.social ✍️🔽

EPA's plan to abandon all efforts to limit global warming endangers your health and the health of everyone you love. How the heck is that supposed to make America great? @mason4c.bsky.social @docsforclimate.bsky.social

"Outdoor air quality was still the leading driver of classroom particle pollution, even with filters installed". Worrying results from the @samhe.bsky.social schools study. Reducing #AirPollution at source will always be key to healthier lives.

The Trump admin plan to repeal the "endangerment" finding that underlies key climate regulations in the US is on the frontpage of today's NY Times, Washington Post and Wall Street Journal

Love to see this from Manchester Mayor and Massive Attack! A band always on the right side of history. Kudos @fossiltreaty.bsky.social ! 🐝

Governments endorse @who.int's new global roadmap to 1/2 deaths attributed to poor #AirQuality by 2040 🎉 Progress on lung health & climate action at the event signal clean air's growing importance in global health decision making ✍️ @nina-ren.bsky.social #WHA78 www.cleanairfund.org/news-item/wh...

Why is there no health warning on a wood stove? Wood smoke contains most of the same carcinogens as tobacco smoke, including benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Tobacco products have had health warning messages for years - it's time for stoves to have the same. #AirPollution #Health

‘Everyone is breathing this’: how just trying to stay warm is killing thousands a year in the world’s coldest capital 🇲🇳 www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

We can't buy clean air, so let's fight for it! @who.int’s Executive Board agreed to halve the number of deaths caused by #AirPollution by 2040 - let's help to make it a reality. #BreatheLife

President Petro 🇨🇴 recognizes #climatechange as a catastrophe. “If there’s one lesson from Covid19 it must be to prioritize prevention to protect health and healthcare.” Taking better care of the air we breathe must be part of health and climate action.

Rosamund Adoo Kissi-Debrah @ellarobertafdn.bsky.social rightly alongside world leaders and ministers to call for #CleanAir „To the politicians, not to act would be unforgivable.“ ❤️

🇪🇸 Secretary of State for Health Dr Javier Padilla says #AirQuality is the health challenge of this century, just as water quality was previously. #CleanAir4Health Great too to hear Spain strongly support @who.int @drmarianeira.bsky.social @drtedros.who.int

Children are on the frontlines of fossil-fuel driven air pollution. 🔴 Over 90% breathe harmful air & nearly 2,000 children die daily from pollution-related diseases. We need urgent action for clean air & a transition to renewable energy. Share & stand up for #OurKidsAir ✊💚

The economic investment case is key, but the bottom line is that „lives and health of children is the biggest ‚bankable project’“ Spontaneous applause for @shwetanarayan30.bsky.social @gchalliance.bsky.social so well said 👏👏👏

🇨🇴 Vice Minister of Environment emphasizing benefits for health in their climate commitments #NDC - and esp target to reduce deadly #BlackCarbon emissions 40% by 2030 Colombia‘s NDC will save 3600 lives by 2030 thanks to healthier air. @who.int @ccacoalition.bsky.social @gchalliance.bsky.social

World Bank‘s Benoit Bosquet calls for a decoupling of emissions from economic growth. This is exactly what 🇨🇳 has achieved in recent years. H/t Prof Hongbing Shen Vice Minister of Health, China @cleanairfund.bsky.social

⚠️ New #BreatheCities report shows the health and economic gains cities could achieve by following @who.int new air pollution Roadmap. By 2040, 60+ cities could collectively: ❤️ avoid 650,000 deaths a year 💰 avoid $1 trillion/year in economic damage bit.ly/who-report-b... @cleanairfund.bsky.social

Jane Burston, CEO @cleanairfund.bsky.social reminding #CleanAir4Health2025 of the economic case to invest in #AirQuality projects and laws. World Bank shows, money is already out there: redirecting $trillions from toxic #FossilFuelSubsidies wd be a game changer. www.worldbank.org/en/topic/cli...

Brilliant poet Jayda David shares a hard hitting poem inspired by Ella Roberta‘s life: „ #AirPollution kills. Air pollution steals funds from our National Health Service. There’s something in the air and we do not want to breathe it in, anymore.“ #BreatheLife @drmarianeira.bsky.social

A small group of #climate pollutants– black carbon, #methane, and #ozone – are responsible for nearly half of global temperature increases to date. Experts warn at 2nd @who.int Air Pollution and Health Conference this week. ✍️Sophia Samantaroy @wellcometrust.bsky.social @cleanairfund.bsky.social

Air pollution & climate change are both mainly caused by burning fossil fuels. Transitioning to cleaner energy sources & divesting from fossil fuels can improve #AirQuality, protect #Health & limit #ClimateChange. Hear from @janeburston.bsky.social at our event with @fossiltreaty.bsky.social 🔽

Black carbon contributes to ill health & the 8 million+ premature deaths a year caused by #AirPollution. Yesterday's event on addressing short-lived climate pollutants at the @who.int conference explored how to tackle this problem to protect health, the climate & economy ▶️ bit.ly/4c2B4Se

🇪🇺 EU Parliament Vice President Javi Lopez on his experience leading the Ambient #AirQuality Directive negotiations : « The role of civil society & health professionals was key to push the EU and governments in the right direction » to show strong public support for #cleanair

🇪🇸 Secretary of Health Javier Padilla on delivering #CleanAir for health & #ClimateAction: « People don’t change just because we’ve put the fear into them. We need to show them a future, a vision » #BreatheLife #CleanAir4Health2025 @who.int @drmarianeira.bsky.social @saludporderecho.bsky.social

Clean Air from #fossilfuel phase out is saving lives: Glimmer of of hope in @lancetcountdown.bsky.social @marinaromanello.bsky.social : Coal phase-out since 2016 rapidly delivered 150,000 fewer deaths per year. Huge potential for govts to copy. #BreatheLife @drmarianeira.bsky.social @who.int

Clean Air Saves Lives, Clean Air Changes lives. Compelling personal story from European Lung Foundation chair and CF patient Dimitris Kontopidis, moving out of Athens to the fresh air of the 🇬🇷 islands means no more need for weeks of invasive treatment every year. #BreatheLife

Great to get into industry interference in policymaking #cleanair. Essential to call it out and step up safeguards against it, especially #fossilfuel lobby - as @anticorruption.bsky.social says Good to hear 🇧🇷 Minister of Finance is Env Minister‘s best ally. Will be needed #COP30

Real world use of health & economic impact assessment tools in 🇫🇷 used to support government decisions for #cleanair policies, particularly considering children and equity, @santepubliquefrance.fr says Env Director Sébastien Denys. #BreatheLife

National governments receptive to the health narrative for #cleanair and #climate but also need economic and political evidence. Critical to present the investment case, says @undp.org Dep Director of Health Natalia Linou. #BreatheLife #CleanAir4Health2025

Useful insight from 🇧🇷 at #CleanAir4Health2025, MinEnv Secretary Adalberto Maluf shares that it was making the case for young children’s wellbeing that secured support for national #AirQuality measures, vs opposition from polluter industry lobbies. @who.int @rcpch.bsky.social

UN Special Rapporteur @astridpuentes.bsky.social : Breathing polluted air is not normal. We must stop normalizing this. Especially we must not accept this for marginalized communities, people living in poverty, women and Indigenous peoples. #CleanAir4Health2025

🩵 Breathing Clean Air is a Human Right.🩵 Loud and clear from UN Special Rapporteur @astridpuentes.bsky.social

WHO @drmarianeira.bsky.social accepts the Health Sector Call to Action on #AirPollution to save lives, signed by organizations representing 47 million health professionals and patients: www.who.int/news/item/17... Proud that @cleanairfund.bsky.social is also supporting this vital call.

Inspiring stories at #CleanAir4Health2025 showing that even one person can spark a huge difference. Elvis Achiri Ndikum from Cameroon shares his personal journey to recognize asthma impacts, take solutions into schools and develop emerging leaders for #CleanAir APYLAV & Global Youth Strategy

The @who.int 2nd Global Conference on #AirPollution & #Health brings renewed focus to the devastating public health impacts of dirty air. A display of images from @climatevisuals.bsky.social ‘visualising air pollution’ collection helps to bring their stories to life for delegates ▶️ bit.ly/41ZGgSi

How #AirPollution has dramatically shifted who is affected by cancer. Please take a moment to let this sink in. Who better to bring this message than doctors? Including irrepressible Dr Arvind Kumar from Drs for Clean Air & Lung Care Foundation. #CleanAir4Health2025 @drmarianeira.bsky.social

Ella Roberta is the only person on the world with air pollution on her death certificate. As her mum Rosamund says, if we could put names and faces to more of the 8m air pollution deaths, politicians would act. They would stop ignoring something which destroys lives. @ellarobertafdn.bsky.social

WHO‘s @drmarianeira.bsky.social clear and inspiring call to action: #AirPollution Kills. The world has made significant progress in recent years but nowhere near enough. No excuses now for inaction. This global conference must result in real change for #CleanAir. 👏👏👏

WHO conference #CleanAir4Health2025 kicked off by 🇨🇴 Vice Minister of Health Jaime Urrego: #AirPollution is a global catastrophe rooted in extractivist development models, which is why 🇨🇴 supports @fossiltreaty.bsky.social. Need to shift to rooting priorities in human rights, incl #CleanAir

We're proud to join the nearly 50 million people calling for urgent clean air action to improve #Health❤️‍🩹 Add your voice to urge decision-makers to stop pollution and deliver cleaner air for people and planet: www.who.int/teams/enviro... @who.int #AirPollution
