👏 An important step forwards on sectoral action on black carbon, as part of the broader #superpollutants movement. This announcement provides a high-level policy signal in favour of integrated action on climate change and #airpollution.
Yesterday at #COP30, 9 countries announced how they'll tackle black carbon 🌎

Our Head of Super Pollutants, Tom Grylls, breaks down the announcement's significance for global climate action 🗣️🔽

🌡️The @cop30brazil.bsky.social report estimates health systems will need $22B in adaptation financing annually by 2035.

Today, climate-health funding reaches only a fraction of that.
