🥵Urban #heat islands are a growing threat to our cities.
🌳But according to evidence, increasing tree cover can reduce temperature of urban environments and help prevent premature deaths.

On my way to #7MCEH in Budapest. Looking forward to ministers giving tailwind to better health protection from environmental, climate threats. And to seeing everyone again! @HealthandEnv @GenonHEAL @DrMariaNeira@racioppifrr
1 in 3 people in the EU have allergies. #Cleanair, a healthy environment is key to lessen suffering and prevent ill-health @EFA_Patients@KlimaGesundheit https://t.co/VOnXSXkN3g
#AirQuality improvements during lockdown are exceptions and must not be a pretext to delay action.
#AirPollution continues to cut lives short, causes a range of illness and significant health costs, and science underlines that there is no safe level.
@AnneHEAL3 explains 👇
#CleanAir4Health: Die @EU_Commission hat heute ihren Vorschlag für neue #Luftgrenzwerte veröffentlicht, der leider nicht den @WHO-Empfehlungen folgt! Wir setzen uns mit vielen Akteur:innen aus dem #Gesundheitsbereich weiter für strengere Grenzwerte ein ➡️https://t.co/W7FXLnd58O
HEAL expresses its solidarity with everyone affected by the war in #Ukraine, including our partners and the broader civil society working for a return to peace in the region.

#HealthyRecovery#BeyondCoal
Eastern Wielkopolska in Poland has become the 1st Polish region to join @PastCoal & will exit coal by 2030 🥳
The sooner the rest of Poland follows suit, the better for people’s #health, the #climate, and Poland’s economy.
The analysis is right, but then the conclusions and proposals are a disappointment, and inadequate to urgently reduce the huge health burden from pollution.
#zeropollution
#ZeroPollution action plan lacks adequate action - eg on #AirQuality - 55% reduction of health impacts by 2030 is status quo.
Health groups expect instead: full alignment of EU’s legally binding standards with the regularly updated @WHO guidelines and latest science.
We welcome @Ener_Community launching dispute settlement against Montenegro for breaching LCPD for #coal plant Pljevlja https://t.co/NsJIZxVmmG.
With up to €3.03M annually, the health cost from Pljevlja is unacceptably high #BeyondCoal https://t.co/UHRn9Et4wT
Out now: #HealthyAirCoalition#Bengaluru monitored #AirQuality around 270 schools:
>70, 000 investigated school children breathe health harming air, risking asthma, allergic rhinitis and other chronic health impacts.
