Clean air brings a triple benefit: it saves lives, combats climate change, and strengthens the economy.

Air pollution causes around 7 million premature deaths every year, but solutions exist.

This #CleanAirDay, explore how action at every level can deliver cleaner air for all: buff.ly/vBVy2dM

A true "win-win" climate strategy exists: tackling short-lived climate pollutants.

On #CleanAirDay, the FOCI project worked with @wmo-global.bsky.social, SEI and @york.ac.uk to show how cutting pollutants like methane and black carbon can rapidly slow warming and save lives.

"Is this how Rome treats its heroes?" screams Lucius in #Gladiators2. Such an epic moment.

🏛️ Maximus and Lucius's storyline is captivating, and the fight scenes are epic!
