Super pollutants are driving rapid warming and also contribute significantly to harmful air pollution, but action to address these impacts has lagged behind. I am excited to join the Clean Air Fund and support their efforts to push for a joined-up approach to tackling super pollutants; one which achieves tangible benefits for people’s health while also tackling climate change.
