International Day of Clean Air for blue skies is a global call to action to ensure we fight for and invest in #CleanAirNow. It recognizes clean air as a human right and asks local, regional and national governments to consider the changes they can make to reduce air pollution and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

Our Campaign

Governments around the world are taking action by improving monitoring systems, raising public awareness, encouraging cleaner transportation, improving waste management, producing clean energy and reducing household air pollution. UNEP is working with national, regional and local governments through #BreatheLife and the Climate and Clean Air Coalition to scale up solutions around the world.

This year on 7 September – the fifth International Day of Clean Air for blue skies – governments can make commitments to improving air quality and by developing and implementing local and national air quality action plans.
