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.

With one day left at #COP29, our Executive Director @marinaromanello.bsky.social describes the importance of health-centred climate action.
Our evidence shows people around the world are facing record-breaking health threats from climate change. A healthy future requires ambitious action.
While COP29 ended with grossly insufficient financial commitments, Lancet Countdown shows countries had no problem in finding US$ 1.4 trillion to subsidise fossil fuels in 2022 alone. Taking externalities into account they rise to 7trillion
Time to redirect funds towards a healthy, equitable future
Hi Friends!
Getting started on Bsky as my new-COP-cycle resolution. While I wouldn't want to encourage a more siloed conversation, I hope the discussion can be more constructive here (and contribute less to a company whose values I don't share).
That said, anyone else overwhelmed by social media?
