Natural Resources Defense Council: Breathing Life into Paris Agreement: Health Can Drive Action
Kim Knowlton, senior scientist and deputy director of the Science Center at NRDC, and Jessica Korsch, NRDC Stanback fellow, discuss the launch of the BreatheLife Campaign, “a joint effort of the World Health Organization (WHO) and Climate and Clean Air Coalition, [which] aims to raise awareness about the dangerous climate and health impacts from air pollution.” They write, “The health impacts of climate change become more and more evident on a daily basis; climate change is an emergency today and will only continue to affect us all. But taking action now drives the opportunity to protect our health today and our children’s health in the future” (7/27).
