Air Pollution:Breath life back into our cities

                          

Air pollution isn’t just a little haze in the distance. Air pollution outdoors and inside our homes claims an estimated 

 

6.5 million lives every year. It impacts our health through long-term exposure and causes near-term climate 

 

change, threatening the lives of future generations.

Now, take a deep breath: today we start making a change. The World Health Organization and the Climate & Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) have launched a joint campaign called BreatheLife to mobilize cities and individuals to protect our health and planet from the effects of air pollution.

 BreatheLife is a global campaign led by the WHO, Climate and Clean Air Coalition and the Government of Norway, to raise awareness about the health risks of short-lived climate pollutants, which contribute significantly to global warming and air pollution.
