Presenting her report to the UN Human Rights Council, Special Rapporteur Astrid Puentes Riaño @SREnvironment argued that victims of air pollution should no longer bear the near impossible burden of proving which polluter caused their illness. Instead, once dangerous pollution and harm are established, responsibility should shift to states, and ultimately to the polluters themselves. With air pollution linked to more than 8 million deaths each year and 99% of people breathing toxic air, the report calls for stronger accountability and enforcement. @BhavreenMK who highlighted the everyday health impacts on children and families and urged that clean air standards be treated as enforceable rights, not recommendations! healthpolicy-watch.news/legal-shift-bu… @HealthPolicyW @DrMariaNeira @RFletch1979 @CleanAirFund @OurKidsClimate @GCHAlliance
