On the International Day of Clean Air for blue skies, we call upon everyone to accelerate action for clean air, from governments to businesses to civil society and individuals.

Clean air is fundamental to healthy people, resilient economies and a stable climate. Yet air pollution continues to impose major economic and public health challenges.  

But solutions are at hand and are proving to protect human health, while strengthening economies and accelerating progress towards global climate and sustainable development goals.  

Action on climate change and air pollution together, can generate economic benefits and protect public health, securing cleaner air for all.
