We want to hear from you.
Research and findings on urban health.
Health effects of air pollution
There’s a perception that burning wood is a cheaper way to heat a home. New research we’ve supported by Global Action Plan shows not only is that not true, but there are significant hidden costs to burning wood.
Communicating clearly about the connection between wood burning and air pollution could improve public health. That’s why we’re publishing research for councils and campaigners about the most effective ways to talk about wood burning.
Children's health and food
Three years of learnings from our perspective as funder on the Everyday Takeaway project.
Changes to streets can improve public health.
In December 2022, the Chief Medical Officer for England – Professor Chris Whitty – published his annual report, and it focused on air pollution. Kate Langford, Programme Director of our Health effects of air pollution programme, and Professor Whitty explain why there is hope in the efforts to improve air quality.
