New report from @CleanAirFund finds funding for fossil fuel projects rose 80% from 2022 to 2023, amounting to 2.5x what was spent on projects to cut outdoor air pollution. This will worsen our health--and the planet's.
📢 NEW: Governments continue to funnel billions into fossil fuel-prolonging projects - while clean air gets just 1% of #GlobalDev finance. Explore the findings of our report, The State of Global Air Quality Funding 2025, out today 👉 https://t.co/Q0VRjxLH31

The EPA is proposing to weaken its process for determining the safety of chemicals already in use—despite links to cancer & chronic illness. Americans are exposed to these chemicals every day. We need stronger safeguards, not more handouts to industry. https://t.co/NIlYabefNI

Congratulations to London on a big win for health and clean air! Lower NO2 levels mean less asthma and fewer hospital visits, particularly for children. The legacy of @Breathe_London continues to improve lives in London and now globally through @BreatheCities.
London has made history! 🎉 For the first time, the city has met legal limits for nitrogen dioxide pollution. This is more than local success - it's a signal to cities everywhere that with bold action, cleaner air is possible.

A new report shows wildfires are a national health crisis, contributing to thousands of deaths. Our kids, especially those with asthma, are most vulnerable. It's time to demand cleaner air and a safer climate for our families. https://t.co/bJ6yo89vj9

Wildfire smoke can travel far and harm health. Americans are breathing in more of it because of climate change.
