#Covid highlighted gaps in our understanding of the role that air pollution plays in infections.
A new study of >3 m people found #airpollution increases your chances of hospitalisation with lower respiratory infections.
Piece by me. Study by @isglobal.org

Spring is here and for many, this means allergy season! Due to the warming climate, the flowering season of allergic trees is starting earlier. For people with pollen allergy this means earlier start and longer duration of allergic symptoms. Read about it in our report: thelancet.com/journals/lan...
We are heartbroken that the U.S. embassies hosting air quality monitors have been ordered by the U.S. State Department to stop sharing the data they collect. See our blog on this myopic move. link.openaq.org/embassy-data...

Graphic reads: People living in small island developing states are increasingly facing the threat of displacement due to rising sea levels. More than a million people across SIDS are living in coastal areas that lie less than 1m above current sea level.
Graphic reads: Rising temperatures are threatening food security in Small Island Developing States. Compared with the period 1981-2010, an additional 2.6m people reported moderate or severe food insecurity as a consequence of drought and heatwave days in 2022.
Graphic reads: Small islands continue to spearhead international policy engagement on the links between health and climate change. At the UN General Assembly in 2022, 64% of all climate and health statements cam from leaders of Small Island Developing States.
📊 NEW HEALTH AND CLIMATE RESEARCH
First comprehensive study on health and climate change in small island developing states shows lack of climate action is endangering lives and livelihoods - despite island states spearheading international attention on the topic
