Air pollution & climate change are linked - destroying livelihoods in Ghana. As lawmakers, we need to understand the trends & use current evidence to propound feasible mitigation policies. The open-data idea is in line with our call re "The Right to Information Act" ~@fx_sosu
World leaders are not ready to combat air pollution...Why do we have @WHO "Air Quality Guidelines" but not Air Quality Legal Requirements. Guidelines are not mandatory; this is why countries particularly those in #Africa can set their weak AQ standards - deliberate poisoning!
Our experience so far has shown that a lot more education with facts/ evidence-based awareness creation on the need for air quality monitoring, meaningful communication of open-source data & the usefulness of citizen science will help combat air pollution in Africa. #COP27
Emergency Medical Team (EMT) awareness workshop kick-off in the Gambia. #Participants health professionals and #facilitators MoH,WHO, WAHO, Africa CDC The objective of this new initiative is to equip us to response to Public Health Emergencies (disease outbreaks, pandemic, flood)

These guidelines are ๐ in protecting #TheAirWeShare and reducing the health impacts of air pollution.
