Environmental pollution and #climatechange are stealing the next generation's future. Globally, almost 2,000 children under 5 die daily because of health impacts related to #airpollution, according to the new Global State of Air 2024 report. 🤰🏾🤱👶🏾👧🏻👦🏼 Proud to have helped publish this data-driven report that can help shape global discussions on #ESG, improve air quality standards and protect the health of children everywhere. #SoGA2024 https://bit.ly/SoGA2024

Household Air Pollution is Real, Climate Change is Real,see how it affects the lives of human beings as we all rely on each State of Global Air Report 2024|| Air Pollution is now the #2 global risk factor linked to deaths in children under 5 years old after malnutrition. Over 70% of these deaths take place within the first month of a baby’s life. Tragically, most of these deaths occur in Sub Saharan Africa and South Asia. We must reduce overall emissions for the health of our children. There are many sources of air pollution that are dangerous to children, including household air pollution, high-density traffic, waste-related burning, industrial air pollution, second-hand smoke, wildfire smoke and dust storms. To save lives, we need to prioritize children’s environmental health and address the sources of air pollution. #ClimateAction #SoGA2024 https://bit.ly/SoGA2024

LET'S TALK ABOUT AIR POLLUTION. Air Pollution is now the #2 global risk factor linked to deaths in children under 5 years old after malnutrition. Over 70% of these deaths take place within the first month of a baby’s life. Tragically, most of these deaths occur in Sub Saharan Africa and South Asia. We must reduce overall emissions for the health of our children. There are many sources of air pollution that are dangerous to children, including household air pollution, high-density traffic, waste-related burning, industrial air pollution, second-hand smoke, wildfire smoke and dust storms. To save lives, we need to prioritize children’s environmental health and address the sources of air pollution. #ClimateAction #SoGA2024 https://bit.ly/SoGA2024

This article from the World Health Organization looks at the very real threat of air quality and how to train health workers to protect people's health. "By equipping health professionals with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills to understand, assess, and mitigate the health risks associated with air pollution, we can empower them to take proactive measures that protect people’s health," says Maria Neira, Director Department Environment, Climate Change and Health, WHO. #airquality #pollution #pm2.5 #facilitiesmanagement #employeeengagement

Air pollution was linked over 700,000 deaths in children under 5, according to the new 2024 State of Global Air. This represents 15% of all global deaths in children under five and means that every day almost 2,000 children under 5 die because of health impacts linked to air pollution. More than 70% of these deaths were linked to household air pollution due to cooking with polluting fuels. The biggest impacts were seen in Africa and South Asia.    The State of Global Air 2024 report shares insights that will shape the conversation on air quality. We must prioritize children’s environmental health and address the sources of air pollution for 🤰🏾 🤱👶🏾👧🏻👦🏼. #SoGA2024 https://bit.ly/SoGA2024 Health Effects Institute UNICEF

📢 The recent State of Global Air 2024 report reveals that air pollution accounted for 8.1 million deaths globally in 2021, making it the second leading risk factor for death. Notably, 38% of these deaths were due to household air pollution. Tragically, more than 700,000 deaths in children under 5 years were linked to air pollution, representing 15% of all global deaths in this age group. Solar cookers are a game changer for women and children suffering from smoke inhalation from burning charcoal, wood, and other unsustainable fuels for cooking. Not only does solar cooking eliminate indoor smoke, reducing respiratory diseases, but it is also completely eco-friendly.

As I delved into the State of Global Air Report 2024, I was struck by the alarming findings that underscore the urgent need to address climate change. The report reveals that air pollution accounted for 8.1 million deaths globally in 2021, making it the second leading risk factor for death, including for children under five years. Moreover, over 700,000 deaths in children under 5 years were linked to air pollution, representing 15% of all global deaths in children under five. Climate change is a significant contributor to air pollution, and we must recognize the interconnectedness of these two critical issues. The report provides comprehensive data on air quality and health trends for every country in the world, making it an invaluable resource for policymakers, researchers, and business leaders alike. Let's raise awareness about the importance of clean air and take collective action to reduce air pollution, which is essential for mitigating climate change. By working together, we can create a healthier, more sustainable future for all.

Let's work together to curb air pollution and carbon emissions. According to Bloomberg Philanthropies, "Air pollution is now the second leading risk of death worldwide, accounting for 8.1 million deaths globally in 2021. As the world’s urban population grows, it is critical for policymakers and citizens to have access to data-driven scientific research that can empower communities and inform important environmental, air quality, and public health policy decisions."
