Channel: New Internationalist
Date: 2020-07-06

During this New Internationalist event on 11 June 2020, an expert panel shared their stories, how they’ve been able to make change happen and their thoughts on how to address the global health crisis of toxic air.

High death rates from Covid-19 have been linked to high levels of air pollution, meanwhile the coronavirus restrictions have led to a massive drop in air pollution in many parts of the world. Both Covid-19 and air pollution hit the poorest and most marginalized people hardest. 

Joining New Internationalist Co-editor Amy Hall on the day:
Rosamund Kissi-Debrah, founder and executive director, The Ella Roberta Family Foundation
Gary Fuller, air pollution scientist at Kings College London and author of The Invisible Killer - the rising global threat of air pollution & how we can fight back
Aruna Chandrasekhar, environmental journalist who has covered air pollution in India extensively, including for New Internationalist
