Most of us - 99% of humanity - breathe polluted air. Air pollution leads to an estimated 8 million premature deaths – including more than 700,000 children under five. Yet pollution is a silent killer that can be stopped. Investing in clean air saves lives, combats climate change, strengthens economies, builds fairer societies, and advances the #GlobalGoals. On International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies, let’s invest now so we can breathe easy knowing we are securing a healthier planet for all. 📷: UN NY Headquarters, 2023 (UN Photo/Eskinder Debebe)
