Intro
RACING FOR AIR – EVERY BREATH MATTERS!
Encouraged by the increasing interest of the international community in clean air, and emphasizing the need to make further efforts to improve air quality, including reducing air pollution, to protect human health, the General Assembly decided in 2020 to designate 7 September as the International Day of Clean Air for blue skies.
International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies 2025
The theme for 2025 is “Racing for Air. Every Breath Matters.”
Our first contact with the world…
What we inhale 12 times a minute…
It keeps us alive or poisons us…
99% of us breathe polluted air…
We can’t take it anymore!
Air pollution is the biggest environmental health risk of our time. It also exacerbates climate change, causes economic losses, and reduces agricultural productivity. It knows no borders – everyone has a responsibility to protect our atmosphere and ensure healthy air for all. By collaborating across borders, sectors, and silos, we can reduce air pollution through collective investments of time, resources, and efforts.
This International Day of Clean Air for blue skies calls upon everyone—from governments and corporations to civil society and individuals—to join the race for solutions. We’re Racing for Clean Air. By tackling air pollution proactively, we can achieve transformative change and secure healthy air for all.
The 9 Most Polluted Countries in the World
Top Countries for Clean Air
- Australia: Home to several cities with some of the cleanest air in the world.
- New Zealand: Its isolation contributes to exceptionally clean air quality.
- Iceland: An European nation known for its clean air.
- Finland and other Nordic countries: These countries are recognized for their low air pollution levels.
Iceland has very clean air and meets the World Health Organization (WHO) air quality standards, largely due to its renewable energy sources, remote island location, and windy conditions that disperse pollutants.
Nordic countries have some of the cleanest air in the world with significant improvements over the last few decades and a focus on maintaining and exceeding World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Nordic countries actively collaborate on air quality initiatives and acknowledge their dependence on reducing trans-boundary pollution from other regions.
