Working with partners

Cooperation across sectors is crucial to effectively address air pollution. WHO has the convening power to ensure key stakeholders not only from different sectors (environment, energy, finance) but also various angles (local and national governments, civil society, academia etc) can share and benefit from their respective expertise, experience, and resources.

Campaign

BreatheLife is a joint campaign led by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Climate & Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) to mobilize cities and individuals to protect our health and planet from the effects of air pollution
