#Architects who still look to the past - when energy was cheap - need to catch up on their understanding of #greenbuildings. "Energy is very costly now. 20% of people's income is used to pay #electricity bills." UGM wrld.bg/Cl7450vCUM2 EDGE

Yes, people in the UK would be demanding their elected representatives make immediate reductions in emissions & improve fuel standards if they viewed the 192 lives cut short daily due to #AirPollution as equally important to the lives lost in a jumbo jet crash. #IfItBleedsItLeads

Impressive! Finally the missing link has been created! Please involve nurses too. In rural areas nurses usually on the ground.

A Super Solution for the #ClimateCrisis? Peatlands. Although they cover only 3% of land surface, they store twice as much carbon as all the world’s forests. ➡ We need international commitments for peatland protection & restoration #ClimateAction now.

I'm at the G7 meeting in France because #ClimateAction cannot wait. People all over the world want a greener, cleaner and safer world. We have the tools to address the climate emergency, but we need more political will.

Good job Ajit Singh, PhD, MIEnvSc presenting at #goEAC2019 using historic visibility as a proxy for #AirQuality in Africa

1/2 In our small way, we are bridging the gap...meaningfully communicating air quality data. So far we have 6 locations covered #Yakokoe ————————————————— #AccraCentral, #Legon, #RingRoad, #RomanRidge, cc’d: Environmental Protection Authority

Yes, parents should be warned of the increased health risk. And, also that the exposure can be decreased by ≥30% if they walk away from busy roads & on the far side of the footpath as far from the idling and moving traffic as possible.

Air quality inequality is real in most parts of the 🌎
