The ten new monitoring stations monitor pm2.5, pm10, sulphurous oxides, nitrous oxides and heavy metals amongst other pollutants. There should be no compromise on improving air quality @UNDPClimate @UNDPHIVHealth @UNDPEurasia
Air pollution is more than an environmental challenge. It’s a public health issue. With @EUinGeorgia @UNDP @WHO @agricultureGEO, Georgia is expanding air quality monitoring with 10 high-tech stations. 💨 Cleaner air 💚 Healthier lives ➡️ go.undp.org/qbi #EU4Georgia

Chompo the Waste Monster👾 may look friendly at first glance. But he quickly turns evil when the waste keeps growing. That’s why #EUandUNDP are helping Georgia build a circular economy, one step at a time. 🇪🇺🇺🇳 Learn more: go.undp.org/qSx #EuropeDay #MyEuropeMyFuture

You are right @richardhorton1 on the need for the health sector to be 'activated' on climate change. We laid out some priorities on this a couple of years ago: gh.bmj.com/content/bmjgh/8/S… Offline: Climate and health—time to step up our activism - The Lancet thelancet.com/journals/lance…

We love SDG Afternoons at the UN House, where young people learn, explore & challenge us with fresh ideas. This time, with @DougUNDP, our #CircularEconomy team & students from Tbilisi Public School #87, we discussed why #SustainableDevelopment matters & how to move forward.

Thanks @GeorgiaToday_GT for highlighting our work to help Ukrainians thrive in Georgia through small businesses. This is not charity it’s economic good sense. Kudos to @GermanyDiplo and @Care_Caucasus for making it happen

Saddened to learn of the loss of Stephen Lewis. He was generous to support and guide my work on advancing health and wellbeing through parliamentary action. He supported so many and his wisdom and vision will be missed. @UNICEF
CBC News honours the life and legacy of Stephen Lewis.
