Join us for a panel discussion & Q&A on air pollution.
Air pollution has been in the news a lot this year, with Saharan dust settling over the UK, Oxford Street declared the most polluted in the world and Paris banning half its cars over pollution fears.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) attributed 3.7 million premature deaths worldwide in 2012 to outdoor air pollution and even more, 4.3 million deaths to indoor air pollution. Exposure to toxic smoke from burning solid fuels such as wood and coal is a particular problem for poor communities in Asia and Africa.
As part of the 21st Century Challenges discussion series, an expert panel will gather at the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) to discuss the problem and how creative technology and new thinking can help us all breathe more easily.
This is a public event and all are welcome to attend. Panel discussion will be followed by audience Q&A
