At iClimate Aarhus University annual meeting, I spoke about the human face of #ClimateChange. It is already shaping how we live, breathe, & feel. By 2050, the effects on #health will be even more profound. The question we must ask is whether health becomes the casualty or the compass of that shift.

#Delhi 's #airquality is a wake-up call for all of #SouthAsia. The health impacts of #pollutionโ #COPD, #asthma #heartdisease, & moreโare likely underestimated, with millions silently suffering. This is just the tip of the iceberg, demanding urgent, collective regional action
On #WorldCOPDDay, let us confront a harsh reality: #COPD causes 3.2M deaths yearly, with 90% in low- & middle-income countries. Air pollution, smoking, and lack of healthcare access make it worse. Together, we can fight for cleaner air, stronger healthcare systems, and healthier lungs. ๐ฌ๏ธ๐ซ
#AirPollution ๐ซ๏ธ in South Asian cities is worsening yearly, demanding urgent multi-sectoral action. Clean energy, sustainable urban planning, & stronger policies are critical solutions, as we highlighted in our recent IJMR editorial โก๏ธ ijmr.org.in/addressing-a... ๐๐ซ
