As we continue our #WorldEnvironmentDay series, we bring you another inspiring CCDC project contributing to a healthier and more sustainable future. Today, we spotlight Project Early Child Development & Learning in Deprived Urban Environment: Influence of Pollution (ECD Urban Pollution). The project examines how pollution in deprived urban environments affects young children's health, development, and learning outcomes. By generating evidence on the links between environmental exposures and early childhood development, it aims to inform policies and interventions that support healthier, more equitable urban communities.

n a new podcast on "Environmental Health and Exposomics Research in India", @DrPoornimaP shares her career and journey as a physician, epidemiologist, and public health leader, and her vision for the future of exposomics in India. As the Head- Environmental Health, Centre for Chronic Disease Control (CCDC) and Director, Centre for Health Analytics Research and Trends (CHART), Trivedi School of Biosciences, Ashoka University, Dr Prabhakaran, dives deep into building a robust ecosystem for Global Exposomics initiatives in the country. She uses her experience in leveraging birth cohorts and her experience with the landmark GeoHealth hub to advise early-career scientists. She envisions an ecosystem where health systems and local efforts follow a bottom-up approach to amplify environmental health research in India and across the globe. Hosted by the Network for Exposomics in the U.S, she joins Dr Rima Habre, ScD, Professor of Environmental Health and Spatial Sciences at University of Southern California, for this conversation. The podcast brings together stakeholders in the field of exposomics to foster dialogue around key topics, further the understanding, facilitate the advancement of the field of exposomics and identify ways that exposomics can support other scientific fields.

As a lead-up to the "World Environment Day" on June 5th, a colourful corner for thriving climate action is parked at the headquarters of the @INDIACCDC today. Championing the theme of "Inspired by nature- for Climate, for our future", we are borrowing ideas from our team this week for a sustainable future. For decades, the world has heard the climate story warnings, targets, and distant deadlines. Too often, the response has been clouded by noise: delay, distraction, denial. The Environment Day and campaigns around it help propagate the extent of damage to the planet and the mitigation efforts to be prioritised. This World Environment Day focuses on climate change, the urgent signals the Earth is sending, and the signals we choose to send back. @UNEP's global campaign calls on all of us to step in, to move further, to steer a world already in motion. The question is no longer if change comes, but how we guide it and how fast it happens. Join us this week as we highlight our projects, research and findings as we continue to champion this cause. #WorldEnvironmentDay #ClimateAction #SustainableFuture #ClimateAndHealth #PlanetaryHealth #EnvironmentalHealth #CCDC @UN @UNinIndia @NPCCHH

In the latest World Heart Podcast, Prof. @DrDPrabhakaran, President-Elect @worldheartfed & Executive Director, @INDIACCDC, joins Prof. @alta_schutte, Professor, @UNSW & The @georgeinstitute for Global Health, Sydney, Australia, for an insightful discussion on strengthening hypertension control globally. Hosted by Prof. Pablo Perel, Senior Science Advisor at the World Heart Federation, the conversation explores the critical role of accurate blood pressure measurement, simplified treatment pathways, digital health innovations, and scalable models of care. High blood pressure remains one of the leading risk factors for cardiovascular disease worldwide, yet millions remain undiagnosed, untreated, or uncontrolled. The episode highlights practical solutions to improve hypertension detection, treatment, and control, particularly in low-resource settings, and examines how health systems, technology, and policy can work together to reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease worldwide. 🎧 Listen to the full episode here: world-heart-federation.org/w… Also available on @ApplePodcasts, @Spotify, and @amazonmusic #WorldHeartPodcast #Hypertension #BloodPressure #CardiovascularHealth #HeartHealth #NCDs #WorldHeartFederation @ICMRDELHI @drambujroy @drmohanv @mygovindia @MoHFW_INDIA @aiims_newdelhi @ISHBP @LubbDup
