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. 👏👏👏
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.

I fully agree Peter, never shy when it is about putting public health.
My point is that health connect everything and is the most powerfully aegument.
Air pollution is linked to health, to climate change, to sustainable societies, to equity, to economy, to urban planning…

Health action on climate change means protection from extreme weather and infectious disease, health facilities with reliable & clean energy and water, breathing clean air, healthy diets…
No surprise that most countries, and most people, support it.
