DESCRIPTION:

The International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies emphasizes the collective responsibility and action required to address air pollution. This pollution, a significant environmental risk to human health, causes about a third of deaths from stroke, chronic respiratory disease, and lung cancer, and a quarter from heart attacks. Additionally, short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) related to health effects and near-term global warming are a key concern.

Air pollution causes an estimated 6.5 million premature deaths globally, with the majority occurring in developing countries where women, children, and the elderly are disproportionately affected due to their exposure to ambient and indoor air pollution. Air pollution also poses long-term impacts due to its transport over long distances; without aggressive intervention, premature deaths from ambient air pollution are projected to increase by over 50% by 2050.

Air pollution also has a significant economic impact, affecting productivity, healthcare costs, and tourism. Investing in air pollution control, therefore, offers considerable economic benefits. Some air pollutants, like black carbon, methane, and ground-level ozone, impact food security and contribute to a significant number of air pollution-related deaths, so reducing them offers co-benefits for the climate.

The United Nations General Assembly has designated 7 September as the International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies, in response to the growing international interest in clean air. The move aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals' emphasis on promoting sustainable development policies supporting healthy air quality and recognizes that improving air quality can also enhance climate change mitigation.
