Clean air saves lives & boosts economies. Yet just 1% of #GlobalDev finance goes towards improving #AirQuality.

It’s time for governments & donors to fund clean air solutions for healthier communities & sustainable growth. Read the report ▶️ bit.ly/4gXEAjm

Graphic reading 'cutting air pollution could boost global GDP by up to $2.4 trillion'

Graphic reading 'targeted clean air policies could save 2 million lives per year'

Graphic reading 'funding for outdoor air quality still only makes up 1% of international development finance'

Happy International Women's Day eve 💜 air pollution, like many global challenges, has unequal impacts. Happy to share this new blog for @cleanairfund.bsky.social exploring this issue and how inclusive research and equitable can deliver clean air for all. #IWD2025 #ForAllWomenAndGirls

Clean Air Fund @cleanairfund.bsky.social · Mar 7

Air pollution disproportionately impacts women’s health. It also contributes to the #ClimateCrisis, which exacerbates inequality ⚖️

We need more inclusive research & solutions created with & for women to #AccelerateAction on clean air for all 👭 #IWD2025

The unequal impact of air pollution on women

Air pollution disproportionately impacts women’s health and contributes to climate change, which exacerbates inequalities.

Countries have the chance to be global #Climate leaders AND drive near-immediate health and economic benefits.

How? By integrating clean air measures (like tackling super pollutants) into their #NDCs, writes @janeburston.bsky.social ✍️⬇️ #AirPollution

Why reducing super pollutants isn't just good for the climate

Countries integrating clean air measures into their NDCs are driving action on climate change while benefiting public health and the economy.

Cleaning our air is one of the most immediate ways to protect the planet 🌏

@unep.org suggests climate policies that control #AirPollution emissions could reduce global warming by 0.5˚C and save 2.4 million lives each year.

Climate and air pollution

Both air pollution and climate change are mainly caused by burning fossil fuels - and they share many of the same solutions.
