[Dolly Oladini @dollyoladini]

On this episode, I talk about why air pollution is a health, climate and social equity issue, and how cities are developing solutions to the crisis 🏙️

[C40 Cities @c40cities]

This week on the Cities 1.5 podcast, @iamdavidmiller explores the intersections of air quality and equity with the CEO of @global_bmh @agnes_agyepong and C40’s Dolly Oladini.

The idea of resilience as mental toughness - sold in so many business self-help books - is woefully incomplete. What we really need more of is external support (friends, good bosses, paid sick leave, etc). My latest: https://t.co/tiQrzj58vD

[Dolly Oladini @dollyoladini]

Greater exposure to air pollution among marginalised and clinically vulnerable residents creates health disparities, widening inequity and exclusion.
We've written a guide to support cities reduce inequities, achieve better health and maximise investments

NEW: Fifteen years of economic stagnation have left the typical UK household £8,300 poorer than peers in countries like France and Germany, according to a major report on the state of the nation https://t.co/zSba1cWtXk

At #COP28 I announced a further £2 million funding for loss and damage, taking @ScotGov's Climate Justice Fund to £36 million.

@c40cities and @GiveDirectly will each receive £1 million to tackle climate-induced loss and damage in communities worst affected by climate change.

[Dolly Oladini @dollyoladini]

Transport is responsible for a large % of pollution in Amman, incl PM2.5 -- the most harmful pollutant to health

We invited Amman to share with cities how reliable data and a rapid, greener bus network is improving health and services for women, refugees, youth and the elderly

[C40 Cities @c40cities]

We are thrilled to announce that for the first time, C40 will be led by co-chairs, reflecting our commitment to global representation & accelerated climate action in cities.

Join us in welcoming Chair @MayorofLondon & Chair @yakisawyerr. https://t.co/P7NgIXUJ2p

Pop culture and my childhood best mate are the reasons why I became a climate activist 🥦

[C40 Cities @c40cities]

In the latest #C40Voices ahead of #WorldVegetarianDay, meet Dolly Oladini, C40 Senior Manager of Air Quality.

Dolly shares the unique story that sparked her interest and career in environmentalism and what led her to choose a vegetarian diet. 🥦🍠🥕 https://t.co/MvWF7uNSYu

If this govt really does go ahead with a big inheritance tax cut, which benefits richer people, in the middle of a cost of living crisis with so many people struggling to get by, it would be the height of cynicism & injustice - which means they’ll probably do it …#bbclaurak

Rishi Sunak is scrapping plans to raise Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards for all rented homes by 2028. Energy efficiency prevents mould and dampness. One in four private renters also lives in fuel poverty...

[Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP @BellRibeiroAddy]

UK households paid an extra £2.5bn on energy bills last year because the Tories "cut the green crap" & doubled down on fossil fuels.

We don't need more Tory false economies.

We need to recognise tackling the cost of living crisis means tackling the climate crisis.

[Diane Abbott @HackneyAbbott]

As a Black woman, and someone on the left of the Labour Party, I have unfortunately been forced to reach the conclusion that I will not get a fair hearing from this Labour leadership.

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

If you sign one thing today, make it this - @EllaRobertaFdn's petition urging Govt to back #EllasLaw in House of Commons & clean up our dirty, toxic air. I've championed this Bill in the Commons, but Govt blocked it - you can help change their minds 👇📝

It’s official: the new Voter ID Law suppressed the vote, was discriminatory, and made things worse. These are the conclusions of all-party report, co-written by the minister who introduced the law in the first place! https://t.co/6VlaC9rau9

The Southwark Land Commission is now out! 👇🏾

I'm excited to see how this will encourage landowners to prioritise social purpose, and if this is replicable in other boroughs.

@Miatsf @mcash did an amazing job bringing together a diverse, honest group of commissioners

[James McAsh jamesmcash.bsky.social @mcash]

Today we launched the report of the Southwark Land Commission.

This ambitious report sets out how we can free up more land for social purpose: promoting equality, encouraging genuine empowerment, and protecting our natural world.

[Gary Fuller @DrGaryFuller]

'Car bloat', ‘auto-besity’ & rising sales of SUVs mean that cars are getting heavier.

Batteries in EVs add mass too. So more #AirPollution from brakes?

Will Hicks @imperialcollege created a computer simulator to find out.
