About this listen


This is a powerful lesson in campaigning, pragmatism and processing grief.


Rosamund's daughter Ella died in 2013 at the age of nine. She is still the only person ever in the UK to have air pollution registered as a cause of death.


Since then, Rosamund has been a relentless campaigner for improving air quality. She has helped change policy here in the UK and has a legion of international admirers that includes Arnold Schwarzenegger.


You can see why. Rosamund is impassioned but also reasonable and empathetic towards those who disagree with her.


She is a total inspiration.
