Primary page content
Lewisham-based Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah is a clean air campaigner, the founder of the Ella Roberta Foundation, and a World Health Organization Breat
Rosamund’s activism began after the death of her nine-year-old daughter, Ella, in 2013. In 2020, after years of tireless campaigning, a coroner ruled air pollution contributed to Ella’s death, the first time this had been recorded anywhere in the world.
Her work continues today through her foundation, which campaigns for clean air policies and greater awareness of the links between pollution and public health. She has influenced local and national legislation, contributed to global forums including COP conferences and WHO summits, and is a leading voice for environmental and health justice.
She was appointed CBE in the 2023 New Year Honours for services to public health.
