“And the right to breathe clean air is an integral component of the right to a healthy environment.”

The historic @UN resolution declaring a healthy environment a universal #HumanRight opens the door for citizens to demand cleaner air. https://t.co/otq2O8ZT5Q

Just published! @WHO released updated report on human exposure and health effects of #microplastics.

Limited evidence suggests microplastics likely exhibit similar toxic effects and mechanisms as other well-studies insoluble particles.

#Biodiversity also means #SoilBiodiversity, uniquely adapted to regions, ecosystems and climate zones.

Soil biodiversity includes a huge variety of species that determine carbon, nitrogen and water cycles and thus the land's productivity and health.

Adapting to #climatechange improves:

🐄 Agricultural productivity,
🔋 Innovation,
🪷 Health and well-being,
🌽 Food security,
👷‍♀️ Livelihoods,
🐠 Biodiversity conservation &
🚧 Reduces risks & damages.
