International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies
September 7, 2025
Theme: “Clean Air, Clean Planet”
Every breath we take depends on one simple but vital element—clean air. On September 7, the world observes the International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies, a United Nations initiative that highlights the need for urgent action to reduce air pollution and ensure cleaner, healthier air for all.
This year’s theme, “Clean Air, Clean Planet,” emphasizes the interconnectedness of air quality, climate stability, and human health. Air pollution is not just an urban or regional problem—it is a global emergency that transcends borders, impacting ecosystems, economies, and public health.
Why Clean Air Matters
Clean air is a human right, yet 99% of the world’s population breathes air that exceeds World Health Organization guidelines. Each year, over 6.7 million premature deaths are attributed to air pollution, making it one of the most significant global health threats of our time.
Air pollution contributes to:
- Heart disease, stroke, and respiratory illnesses
- Crop damage and food insecurity
- Biodiversity loss and habitat degradation
- Climate change due to black carbon, methane, and ozone emissions
Both outdoor (ambient) and indoor air pollution threaten vulnerable populations the most—especially children, the elderly, and low-income communities.
A Global Problem Needs Global Solutions
The United Nations General Assembly created this observance in 2019 to encourage nations, communities, and individuals to:
- Monitor and reduce air pollution
- Strengthen environmental laws and enforcement
- Promote sustainable transport and renewable energy
- Share data, research, and best practices
- Empower citizens to take everyday action
Air pollution does not recognize borders, and neither should our solutions. Global collaboration is key.
2025 Theme: Clean Air, Clean Planet
This year’s campaign focuses on how reducing air pollution also helps tackle climate change and protect natural ecosystems. Cleaner air leads to cooler temperatures, healthier soils, restored forests, and fewer extreme weather events.
The 2025 message also calls on governments and industries to:
- Transition to renewable energy sources
- Electrify transportation and public infrastructure
- Invest in green urban planning
- Reduce reliance on fossil fuels
- Implement strict air quality standards
What You’ll Learn
This year’s observance is packed with learning opportunities for the public and professionals alike:
- The link between air pollution and chronic diseases
- How air quality affects mental and cognitive health
- How businesses can adopt clean air strategies
- The role of forests, wetlands, and oceans in purifying air
- Global air quality trends and emerging technologies
