This is good news. Investing in solutions that reduce air pollution and carbon emissions is not only crucial to protecting public health and wellbeing but also vital in protecting nature and climate.Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership Prof Tolullah Oni Meelan Thondoo African Centre for Clean Air (ACCA) AirQo Brenda Akia (PhD Law)

Great to see $1 billion for climate & health from Green Climate Fund, Asian Development Bank, The Global Fund and The Rockefeller Foundation announced at #COP28 .

Clean Air Fund endorses these guiding financing principles. We need to see more investment in clean air to save lives and protect our planet. #COP28 UAE

By reducing black carbon emissions, we can drive better health and environmental justice outcomes. Yet black carbon remains largely absent from the mainstream climate and health agendas.
