On this #EarthDay, we recognize that ecosystems sustain life, livelihoods, and hope for future generations. At the heart of it all is water. This message remains as relevant as ever: we cannot speak of sustainability or the future of our planet without speaking about water. @watercommongood @CitiesAlliance @filac_ @ourcommonair

I began my career as a happy clinician — one patient at a time. Years later, at the @WHO I had the privilege of working to protect the health of million. Because treating disease is essential but preventing it is transformative @ourcommonair @CleanAirFund #worldhealthday

And: Renewable energy means health too: cleaner air, fewer diseases, and better lives. @IEA @MAECgob @mitecogob @who @IRENA @CleanAirFund @ourcommonair @LancetCountdown
Renewables power resilient energy — boosting independence, security, and protection from fossil fuel volatility. Decentralised, integrated systems deliver the predictability today’s energy landscape demands. My view via @BusinessTimes bit.ly/4bv4ZTf

When I was first elected, evidence showed it would take 193 years to bring London's air pollution within legal limits. Thanks to our policies, we've done it in 9 💚 theguardian.com/environment/…

Agree that #CleanAir must be a basic right, like clean water & health care. We cannot be a healthy, economically vibrant country when air pollution is impacting our human capital so profoundly. Let us come together to fix this imminently solvable problem.
Presenting her report to the UN Human Rights Council, Special Rapporteur Astrid Puentes Riaño @SREnvironment argued that victims of air pollution should no longer bear the near impossible burden of proving which polluter caused their illness. Instead, once dangerous pollution and harm are established, responsibility should shift to states, and ultimately to the polluters themselves. With air pollution linked to more than 8 million deaths each year and 99% of people breathing toxic air, the report calls for stronger accountability and enforcement. @BhavreenMK who highlighted the everyday health impacts on children and families and urged that clean air standards be treated as enforceable rights, not recommendations! healthpolicy-watch.news/lega… @HealthPolicyW @DrMariaNeira @RFletch1979 @CleanAirFund @OurKidsClimate @GCHAlliance

Climate change is impacting the future of work, esp in tropical countries like India. Chronic health impacts need further study, while solutions need to focus on work & living place thermal comfort & safety. @IndiaClimCollab @RockefellerFdn @MoHFW_INDIA @FollowCII @ilo
When extreme heat and air pollution collide, deaths can triple. That stark warning came from @doctorsoumya at Mumbai Climate Week. ✍️@dishashetty20 @ClintonGlobal @UNEP @CleanAirFund @AlliedClimate @Mumbai_Climate @SEWABharat healthpolicy-watch.news/air-…

New research suggests #AirPollution may significantly undermine the health benefits of regular exercise 🫁 Long-term exposure to PM2.5 pollution weakens this protective effect - particularly in the most polluted areas. Learn more ⬇️ nursinginpractice.com/clinic…

A historic @UN declaration officially recognises #AirPollution's impact as a major driver of poor health 😷 But it could go much further, by endorsing the @WHO's target to halve air pollution-related deaths by 2040. Learn more ⬇️ bit.ly/482m6vy
