A
European report has been published reminding us that improving pollution is not just about climate change but also public health. In fact, the savings from reduced medical spending are likely to cover a significant proportion of the cost of the pollution reduction.

Thanks James for covering our latest report.
It blew up quite a storm among political and medical leaders. There is interest from the European Parliament to raise the issue in the Environment Committee and the Climate Advisor to the Standing Committee of European Doctors (CPME), Dr Michael Wilks was quoted supporting the report in a front-page article in the EU Observer. Several experts at the World Health Organization sent messages of interest, and Dr Hugh Montgomery, a UK professor and expert in health and climate change, sent a copy of the report to David Cameron.
