Overdoses are the leading cause of death for American adults under age 45. At the #BloombergAmericanHealthSummit26, we announced a new $150 million commitment to our overdose prevention initiative, expanding efforts to make treatment available in all correctional facilities and emergency rooms in six states. It’s an ambitious goal — but, over the last ten years, the Bloomberg American Health Initiative has helped raise the bar for what’s possible. Discover more here: bit.ly/486EtOs

The way out of America's housing shortage runs through city hall. That's why we're bringing the best of municipal innovation to the nation's building charge, moving the most effective local solutions from the places that pioneered them — Mayor @AndreforAtlanta's @CityofAtlanta, Mayor @KirkPWatson's @AustinTexasGov, Mayor @ToddGloria's @CityofSanDiego — to up to 30 more across the country. With @USAccelerate and @PublicDigitalHQ, we will help mayors ready to lead deliver what residents need most: more homes. Learn more in @Vox by @rcobooth: bit.ly/4jgQUhI

When cities invest in cleaner air, they invest in brighter futures for kids. A landmark study from @ColumbiaMSPH that followed more than 1,000 mother-child pairs in New York City found that as air pollution declined, young children’s cognitive development scores improved — adding to the evidence that clean air policies can help protect developing brains. Learn more about how Bloomberg Philanthropies and its partners are building on evidence from New York to advance clean air solutions in cities around the world: publichealth.columbia.edu/ne…

Reducing methane emissions is one of the fastest ways to protect our climate and our health.    With the launch of @Planet's Tanager-2, our partner @CarbonMapper can identify major methane sources around the world—and give leaders more of the data they need to take action.
Launch success! 🚀🛰️ Tanager-2 now joins Tanager-1 in orbit, bringing new visibility into methane super-emitters around the world. Stay tuned for the satellite’s first look at earth. 👀 Read more: prn.to/3TAH8fW

Building wealth takes time. Protecting it for the next generation takes planning. Legacy planning can help families protect the homes, retirement savings, and other assets they’ve worked hard to build for the next generation. With support from Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Greenwood Initiative, @CFEfund is expanding access to legacy planning resources and professional support in more than 30 cities and counties across the country, helping families secure what they’ve built and plan for the future.

What does it take to prepare the next generation of healthcare workers? 🩺 At Bloomberg Philanthropies-supported specialized healthcare high schools, students get an early start through hands-on learning and training that connects the classroom to real-world careers. In Northeast Tennessee, @BalladHealth nurses like Allie Phelps are bringing that learning to life -- serving as educators and mentors who help young people build skills, explore career possibilities, and see a future for themselves in healthcare.
