To touch on people's lives [ in a way they ] haven't been touched on before, it´s fascianting.

So, when we improve air quality we improve our lives, and at the same time we improve the climate as well. We must see climate policy from this perspective and not as an abstract threat that may threaten our survival in 100 years.
