For the first time, #SoGA2025 includes air pollution's impact on dementia.

Growing evidence suggests poor #AirQuality can progress and worsen neurological diseases - diminishing people's quality of life and causing premature death. @heisoga.bsky.social

Burning fossil fuels warms our planet and produces toxic #AirPollution that harms the health of millions of people.

Ahead of #COP30, we've signed the #HealthyPlanetNow letter calling for health to be central to climate conversations and action.
