Today’s report shows that ULEZ works. One year on, the ULEZ expansion is helping to: 🌳 Drive down levels of pollution 🌳 Take old polluting cars off our roads 🌳 Bring cleaner air to millions more Londoners.

The Climate Change Committee's seventh carbon budget charts a clear path to net zero and a healthier society with cleaner air, warmer homes, better diets, more active travel, and greater energy security. It’s now up to Parliament to agree the route forward. ukhealthalliance.org/news-item/th...

Air pollution is linked to thousands of deaths every year in the UK. Children are particularly vulnerable. The public have a right to know what is in the air they are breathing. We've signed this letter calling for transparency and encourage you to do the same @richardswsmith.bsky.social

Cut emissions, NOT trees. We wrote about this in our "Just Energy Transition for the Good of Health" policy report last year. Read more here > ukhealthalliance.org/influencing-...

Pleased the case against Rosebank has won. Emissions from fossil fuels harm health and our health service in multiple ways and development of any new oilfields is not compatible with a liveable future.

I remain opposed to a new runway at Heathrow airport because of the severe impact it will have on noise, air pollution and meeting our climate change targets.

Dear journalists, if you're writing/publishing/broadcasting about the Los Angeles wildfires and you don't mention the role of #climate change, you're not doing your full job.

Emissions produced from burning oil and gas bring multiple health harms - drive climate change, dirty the air. These risks to health must be a factor in decision making on oil and gas projects. @ukhealthclimate.bsky.social
