While everyone endures the season, women predominate at the frontlines, fighting fires in Uttarakhand.
As expanding wildfire seasons hit the forests of Uttarakhand, in the Indian Western Himalayas local women are stepping up as first-line firefighters.

Driven by rural out-migration and a duty to protect their land, women suppress fires at their source without formal equipment or state support.
Sickles, sarees and smoke: Women on the frontlines of Uttarakhand forest fires
In the village forests of Uttarakhand, in the Himalayan region of northern India, a tree can be charred at its base while maintaining a green canopy at its peak. The distinct separation between burnt…

Wildfire smoke can affect air quality far beyond where the fires burn. Fire Emissions Watch, a new app from #CopernicusAtmosphere, makes it easier to explore fire emissions around the world, follow the movement of smoke & place current events in their historical context.

Today is #CleanAirDay.

But findings of the 🆕 WMO Air Quality & Climate Bulletin show that an increase in pollution from wildfires and heatwaves could slow efforts to improve air quality and protect human and ecosystem health.

Every US$1 invested in climate and clean air action could return around US$15 in economic benefits.

A UNEP & @ccacoalition.bsky.social report launched on #CleanAirDay finds that tackling climate change & air pollution together can deliver major economic, health and climate benefits.

Nearly 9 in 10 premature deaths from air pollution happen in low- and middle-income countries, where the most vulnerable are least protected, further worsening global inequalities. 

In the race for clean air, no one should be left behind.

Air pollution can cost countries up to 6.1% of GDP every year. 

The clock is ticking in the race for clean air, and there are no valid excuses to slow action.

Powerful new work from the CHILL Study team highlighting why clean air matters for children!

Air pollution is a children’s health issue. Read our factsheet on the health effects of air pollution on children: tinyurl.com/3wnmuf37
Air pollution stunts children’s lung growth. New Queen Mary research found that improvements in air quality after the introduction of London’s ULEZ are associated with accelerated lung growth in children.
