Aims: to launch and present the findings of the new "Lung Facts". As a major step forwards from the European Lung White Book, published >10 years ago, Lung Facts is a web-based resource presenting all the key epidemiological and economic data for key respiratory conditions across WHO Europe and by each WHO Europe country, which will now be updated regularly. "Lung Facts" will provide a key advocacy tool in the context of the International Respiratory Coalition (IRC) to raise the profile of lung health following the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on respiratory health across the globe.
