No excuses. Air pollution damages our health. We urge EU governments to protect people’s health and to adopt a negotiating position on the Ambient Air Quality Directive (#AAQD) this week. @EU_Commission @EUCouncil @WHO #CleanAirNow

[Jane Burston @Jane_Burston]

By increasing funding for clean air projects, #GlobalDev funders can help mitigate climate change, boost green growth and reduce global health burdens

We urge donors to dramatically increase funding for clean air projects to protect people and planet 👉 https://t.co/0aF1kxXXiE

[Clean Air Fund @CleanAirFund]

📣 BREAKING: Clean air projects received more #GlobalDev funding than fossil fuel projects for the first time in 2021

But we have a long way to go. Only 1% of international development funding and 2% of climate finance tackles outdoor #AirPollution

🔎 Our new report offers insights into how — and where — donors can maximise their resources 👉 https://t.co/FflX6b12NZ

@kimwillsher1 @LeShuttle Traveller with @LeSuttle for years. But frequent delays, astronomical fare hikes, and reduced flexibility made me change transport mode. One time, I was charged £527 for wishing to add a small trailer to my car. Service used to be great. No more.

“If the world were to permanently reduce these pollutants to meet the World Health Organization's (WHO) guideline limit, the average person would add 2.3 years onto his or her life expectancy, according to the data, which has a 2021 cutoff”. https://t.co/jBE9Uy77B3

I have a spare ticket for the Rotterdam marathon (15 April). Let me know if you're interested.

@TectonicPlateUK @ChurchillFship @nesta_uk @jaapseidell Brilliant! Congrats.

@ukhomeoffice @SuellaBraverman How about we look at what the #PublicOrderBill actually does

[Clean Air Fund @CleanAirFund]

What concrete steps are needed for coordinated global action?

@LindsayGrahamUK Immense. Huge congratulations, so well deserved. Looking sharp, both of you! 👏

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

So pleased to see #EllasLaw on @EveningStandard front page today - due in no small part to hard work of @EllaRobertaFdn @CleanAirLondon @GreenJennyJones & others. I'm championing the Bill as it passes through Commons & urge MPs to back it - clean air must be a human right for all

Well this is all going well

[Clean Air Fund @CleanAirFund]

The research is clear. The UK can achieve cleaner air by 2030 in a cost-effective way that saves lives, boosts the economy, and helps to deliver #NetZero.

[Dalberg @DalbergTweet]

A new report by @CleanAirFund alongside Dalberg finds that some of Africa’s fastest-growing cities will see a sixfold rise in the financial costs of #AirPollution by 2040. Conversely, they could unlock multiple benefits with green growth-enabling policies: https://t.co/RLGG12n95A
