This Lead2030 Challenge will be supported by AstraZeneca’s Young Health Programme.
Worldwide, 1.8 billion people under the age of 15 breathe air that is so polluted that it risks their health and development. Children and young people are more affected by air pollution than adults, and long-term exposure to air pollution can lead to changes in brain structure which may disrupt learning and cognition.
For this Challenge, they are seeking innovative, youth-led projects which tackle the causes of air pollution and focus on the long-term health of young people.
