How Paris swapped cars for bikes – and transformed its streets Under Anne Hidalgo – mayor for 12 years until last week – the French capital added bike lanes, cut traffic and reclaimed public space, but not without resistance

Fewer cars, cleaner air, healthier cities.

Paris is among cities that have reduced key air pollutants in recent years.

Urban mobility policies can deliver both climate and health benefits when implemented at scale.

Imagine the differences in #extremeheat & #airpollution in our cities if we switched from #fossilfuel based transportation to #electricbuses

Besides the #climatehealth benefits of less respiratory & cardiovascular illness, it saves money, & everyone loves money.

Capstone by: Aditya Lankalapalli

We blame people for inactivity.
But heat is changing behavior.

Global data: hotter months → less movement → more deaths.
Up to 700,000 by 2050.

This isn’t awareness failure. It’s design failure.
Build cooler, walkable cities—or watch inactivity become the default. #ClimateHealth

Starting to share Capstone projects from amazing medical students on #climatehealth topics.

Evilina looked at ways to stay safe in #extremeheat with special considerations to those observing #Ramadan

#covid19 pandemic did give us hope with #sustainabletransportation leading to cleaner air and water.
Decreasing #fossilfuel consumption decreases air pollution leading to improved health.

This MS4 capstone project overviews the #climatehealth implications. Great work Kobe!

Day 7 we discussed race, climate & health- very connected!
#Colonialism led to the #castesystem led to racial inequities in wealth, investment in communities and health.
#Structuredracism in a plantation economy was magnified by redlining led to worse #climatehealth outcomes that persist today.

Research from his team links long-term wildfire smoke exposure to higher mortality risk among older adults. Studies also suggest heat + smoke together may heighten risks.

🦟 Dengue Climate Change in Rural Indonesia | 160,000+ Cases Reported in 2025 Explore dengue climate change in Indonesia as warming temperatures and stagnant water increase mosquito breeding. More than 160,000 dengue cases and hundreds of deaths were reported nationwide in 2025.

Dengue is increasingly linked to climate and environmental conditions. Indonesia reported 257k cases in 2024 and more than 161k in 2025. In rural villages, prevention begins by removing stagnant water and controlling mosquito breeding sites.
