What does clean air action look like? And who are the changemakers driving impact on #AirPollution across the globe? Watch inspiring clean air heroes tell their stories of creating change for #CleanAirNow on #WorldCleanAirDay 🌍💨👇 bit.ly/3yWJMlX

Johannesburg is stepping up for clean air. 🥾 Residents, youth ambassadors and local leaders recently gathered to hike, learn and demand clean air for all as part of the It's in the Air campaign, powered by @BreatheCities. The work doesn't stop here, the @CityofJoburgZA is…

Cutting shipping emissions improves health, but may "unmask" warming from #Climate pollution, contributing to rising temperatures🌡️ The science is complex, but integrated action on super pollutants can simultaneously benefit both climate & #PublicHealth. bit.ly/3IkY9F0

💨 Air pollution is decreasing — but still deadly. Between 2005–2022, deaths from PM2.5 in the EU fell by 45%. Yet in 2022 alone: 🔹 239,000 deaths linked to PM2.5 🔹 70,000 to ozone 🔹 48,000 to NO₂ #CleanAir #AirPollution #ZeroPollution

🔥 Climate change is set to drive longer, more intense heatwaves - posing serious risks to public health. @WHO's new technical brief outlines how heat stress and #AirPollution intersect, plus how we can address both to save lives ⬇️ bit.ly/4lBHQCg

50m people in 11 countries are at risk of exposure to hazardous #AirPollution from nearby plastic-linked petrochemical sites, says new @greenpeace report ☣️ Cutting plastic production by 75% by 2040 will be vital to protect health & the environment ⬇️ bit.ly/4m8fP5f

Tropospheric ozone remains a blind spot in global climate & development agendas, despite being a triple threat to climate, health & food security. Better integration and coordination will help us to tackle it, writes @Jane_Burston for @airqualitynews ⬇️✍️ bit.ly/4l6u7Db

We're proud to sign the International Philanthropy Commitment on #ClimateChange! 🌎💫 This reaffirms our ongoing commitment to aligning our funding, operations & influence with a sustainable future where everyone breathes clean air 🔽 ️ bit.ly/40u94T3 @wings_info

Exposure to higher levels of #AirPollution during mid-life is associated with slower processing speed, lower scores on a cognitive screening tool, & differences in brain structure later in life. That's according to a new @KingsIoPPN study ⬇️ bit.ly/4kUj1jZ

Addressing agricultural #AirPollution is crucial for improving air quality, advancing clean energy & mitigating climate change 🐄 @WHO's new technical brief summarises priority actions to address the health impacts of this source of air pollution ⬇️ bit.ly/3UhRttN

Air pollution is a leading cause of premature death in Africa, but momentum for clean air is growing. As the CLEAN-Air Forum concludes in Nairobi, @pallavipnt @OkureDo argue for more support for local solutions & regional partnerships on the continent ✍️ bit.ly/4kRwgBT

PARALLEL SESSION II: AIR POLLUTION AND HEALTH IN AFRICA. The session explored air pollution’s severe public health impacts in Africa, focusing on pollutant sources, health outcomes, and policy solutions. #CleanAirForumNairobi #CleanAirForum2025

"A cleanup of #AirPollution was both necessary & overdue. This did not cause additional warming but rather, removed an artificial cooling that has for a time helped shield us from some of the extreme weather and other...consequences of climate change." ⤵️ theconversation.com/cleaner-air-in…

The @worldathletics Running for Clean Air project uses marathons to raise awareness & gather data on urban #AirPollution. Insights from the Lagos City Marathon will support organisers, runners & city officials to drive action to improve #AirQuality ⬇️ worldathletics.org/athletics-bett…

Webinar: Tune in this Thursday for an introduction to the first phase of @WHO's new science and policy summaries series on #AirQuality, energy and health. International experts and policy makers will share insights on how we can tackle #AirPollution ⬇️ bit.ly/4lOiBMM

HAPPENING NOW: The CLEAN-Air Forum 2025. Experts, policymakers, and innovators are coming together to discuss air pollution in #Africa. #CleanAirForumNairobi

Over 90% of Europeans still breathe air that fails to meet @WHO guidelines, with disastrous results for human & environmental health. Decisive action can deliver on the EU's 2030 air quality goals & ensure the next generation breathes safer air 👉 bit.ly/4nFBlzV

🧠 New study suggests long-term exposure to #AirPollution may play a role in the development of brain tumours - adding to a growing body of evidence on how poor #AirQuality impacts organs beyond the heart and lungs. Learn more @airqualitynews ⬇️ bit.ly/4lQS5lX

Clean air in Europe is essential AND achievable 🌬️ With targeted action across energy, transport & agriculture sectors, the EU can meet its #AirQuality goals by 2030, protecting public health & the environment, writes Ruby Silk, @Green_Europe ✍️ bit.ly/4nFBlzV

Work with us to: 🔸 Develop a photography exhibition highlighting the impact of black carbon 🔸 Evaluate how we can best support policies with #AirQuality impacts 🔸 Help @BreatheCities Bangkok advance the implementation of Clean Air Zone measures 🔽 bit.ly/3wuBUD7
