Government urged to include WHO air quality limits in Environment Bill independent.co.uk/environment/en… I can’t find enough words to stress how important these guidelines are. Unless we clean up the air sadly people will continue to die in their thousands. The invisible killer amongst us.

Thank you @aarashsaleh. It was great to be involved in the Climate Acceptance Studios webinar and to hear a medic’s perspective. You see the impact of air pollution on the most vulnerable every day at work. Ps. Glad my hair flicking didn’t put you off your stride!
P.s it was also great to see my old colleague Shazia Yamin again and to hear about the ground breaking work holding polluting companies to account #airpollution
Oh the irony the headline in today’s metro isn’t lost on Ella’s siblings. Let’s hope Boris Johnson really means it this time as we know only too well what happens when leaders don’t take children’s lungs seriously don’t we?RIEP #EllaRoberta #AirPollution #COP26 Dr Maria Neira World Health Organization (WHO)
With my role as World Health Organization (WHO) BreatheLife Ambassador I’ll be championing the Rights of Children to Breathe Clean Air. Its their Human Right & with people power, especially support from mums & Jocelyn Cockburn Dr Maria Neira Arnold Schwarzenegger we’ll get there. Health professionals are on board
My amazing lawyer Jocelyn Cockburn came to support me at my event at the #pipefactory as part of @COP26fringe on Sunday. We haven’t seen each for 20 whole months. I was so happy to see her. Artwork of London maps: by Sarah Stirk. Paintings of Ella Roberta: by Gina Allan
