Today the UK Government announced a stronger target for reducing PM2.5 #AirPollution, committing to reach interim WHO guidelines by 2030 ✔️🙌

This is great step forward but there's still more to do, as NO2 levels in the country remain 4x higher than WHO guideline levels: https://bit.ly/4pLEvCt

🌤️ Europe’s air is improving, but 180,000+ EU deaths in 2023 were linked to PM2.5 above WHO levels.
95% of city residents still face unhealthy air.

Cutting black carbon creates fast wins for climate & health, yet low- & middle-income countries lead the way with little support/finance.

Integrating super pollutants into climate frameworks can unlock crucial funding & keep us on track for 1.5°C @devex.com https://bit.ly/48eIa4F
Slashing super pollutants is a win. So where's the money?
At COP30, nine countries pledged new action on black carbon, but the health and climate gains from cutting super pollutants still don’t count toward global climate targets.
