Why do we need Daylight? – The new DLA flyer

Daylight is central to public health and the environment. Half of the world’s population now lives in urban areas. For many, their access to daylight is limited by a poor built environment and air pollution. Clean, renewable sources of energy are a pressing need, as is a greater recognition of the hazards of living and working indoors. Disrupted biological rhythms, sleep and mood disorders, inadequate vitamin D levels and myopia are just some of the health risks that insufficient exposure to daylight brings with it. Furthermore, access to daylight also favours other aspects seen as beneficial for humans, such as the view out and the contact with the natural environment.

Learn more about daylight and the DLA in this new flyer and share it without moderation.

A big thank you to the Daylight Ambassadors for preparing this insightful booklet!
