Presented jointly with C-CHANGE

A staggering 99 percent of the world’s people live in places with dangerous levels of air pollution. Dirty air has been linked to dementia, heart disease, stroke, cancer, respiratory illnesses—and millions of premature deaths each year. And climate change is only worsening the problem. This panel brings together experts in clinical care and environmental research to discuss the threat of air pollution and explore solutions.
