Why Nina works for Clean Air Fund:
Clean air is a human right. Clean Air Fund can be the canary in the coal mine, warning of the immediate danger to our health, but also pointing to the solutions. Clean Air Fund catalyses policies and investments that will save millions of lives, avert climate catastrophe and build a fairer world where everyone has a chance to thrive.
