Serious about combatting climate change? - It’s time to talk about the cow in the room

Today marks the start of the Pre-COP summit, the last chance for world leaders to discuss climate change mitigation strategies ahead of the upcoming negotiations at the United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in November in Glasgow. If COP26 organisers are serious about meeting the Paris Agreement and “keeping 1.5 degrees alive” to limit the potentially catastrophic impact of global warming, it’s crucial that all leading drivers of climate change are acknowledged and addressed.

Air pollution is the UK’s largest environmental health risk, greater than obesity and smoking, leading to 40,000 early deaths a year and costs the UK economy a staggering £20 billion annually. Without stronger action to reduce exposure to toxic air, the number of deaths and the costs will, sadly, increase.
