The World Health Organization is calling on governments, institutions, cities, and civil society to commit to urgent action for cleaner air and healthier lives. As a follow-up to the WHO 2nd Global Conference on Air Pollution and Health, stakeholders are invited to join a global movement aiming to reduce the health impacts of air pollution by 50% by 2040 (baseline: 2015).

Commitments can span across key action areas including:

• Governance, policy and finance (e.g. aligning air quality standards, cross-sector collaboration)
• Institutional capacity (e.g. health professional training, impact assessments, research)
• Leadership and awareness (e.g. campaigns, public engagement, surveillance systems)

Over 50 countries, cities, donors, and institutions have already pledged. Your organisation can join this collective effort by submitting a voluntary commitment by 7 September 2025, the International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies.

Make your impact count, take action now to build a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable future.
