Today is World Earth Day, a day for raising awareness and taking action on important environmental issues. 🌍 Learn how NIHR-funded global health research is addressing the health impacts of climate change: nihr.ac.uk/story/addressing-…
Addressing the health impacts of climate change Vector-borne diseases are spreading due to changing climatic conditions. Air pollution, linked to climate change, causes around 7 million premature deaths each year. We are funding critical research in these areas.

Congrats to @theguardian.com for co-launching the #89PercentProject - reminding us that the vast majority want stronger #climate action. The climate denial of the populist right is the minority. Media needs to reflect this & Govts urgently need to act👇 theguardian.com/environment/…

Activate climate’s ‘silent majority’ to supercharge action, experts say

Making concerned people aware their views are far from alone could unlock the change so urgently needed
