On #CleanAirDay a shocking reminder of Health Effects Institute showing #AirPollution has overtaken tobacco and is the 2nd highest risk factor for death globally. Looking forward to chairing the 1st meeting today of the Breathe Cities Advisory Committee.
Great to have compèred today’s #AirPollution & #Health conference by Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, Global Action Plan & Camden Council. So much to learn! Encouraging that health professionals & many NHS staff are working hard to raise awareness & contribute less pollution themselves. #CleanAirDay
Today we were joined by MPs stellacreasy Afzal Khan MP Sian Berry and Ellie Chowns to deliver the very first petition to the new PM Keir Starmer, calling on the government to clean up our air by ensuring everyone can access cleaner and greener transport options👏 #cleanairday
The transition to a cleaner freight system will rely on joined-up thinking and fresh policies from government. But businesses like First Mile and Guy's and St Thomas' are already taking positive steps to reduce air pollution from freight. 👉 urbanhealth.org.uk/insights/opini…
