As the world faces growing environmental challenges, air quality emerges as a critical link between climate change and public health. This press conference will highlight groundbreaking research showing how polluted air exacerbates respiratory diseases, chronic conditions like diabetes, and even the health risks posed by climate change itself. With innovative solutions for improving air quality in schools and cultural heritage sites, we will explore how addressing this issue can protect vulnerable populations and drive public health improvements globally. Join us to uncover the hidden impacts of air pollution and the urgent need for action in safeguarding both our climate and our health.
