Following the international community’s increasing interest in clean air, and emphasizing the need to make further efforts to improve air quality to protect human health, the United Nations General Assembly has designated 7 September as the International Day of Clean Air for blue skies.
Last year, the first-ever International Day of Clean Air for blue skies with the rights-based theme of "Clean Air for All" was launched. The report on the launch and celebration from last year can be viewed here.
The theme for this year’s International Day of Clean Air for blue skies is “Healthy Air, Healthy Planet” which emphasizes the health effects of air pollution, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Day aims to prioritize the need for healthy air for all while keeping conversations broad enough to encompass other critical issues such as climate change, human and planetary health as well as the Sustainable Development Goals. It serves as a rallying call to action to collectively align efforts and claim the right to clean air.
Official commemorations of the second International Day of Clean Air for blue skies will take place in Nairobi, New York and Bangkok.
