"No one wants to leave their homes. Why should we be forced to?"

Small #island developing states like #Tuvalu find themselves in the paradoxical position of contributing the least to greenhouse gas #GHG #emissions while suffering the most from the consequences of #globalwarming.

[UN Environment Programme @UNEP]

Clean air is a human right. Air pollution is a global public health emergency - and a ⁣preventable problem.

It's time we work #TogetherForCleanAir.
