A Breath of Fresh Air: Everyone deserves clean air

1780683535761886

International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies is just around the corner, and we need your help to make it a breath of fresh air for everyone. Fossil-fuelled air pollution is a silent and indiscriminate killer, affecting all of us. That's why we're calling on you to join and lend your voice to the clean air movement.

Why Your Participation Matters

Together, we can make a difference. Sharing your stories on the importance of clean air can help raise awareness and show the world what we're fighting for: healthier communities, thriving ecosystems, and a brighter future.

How to Get Involved

We want you to take a photo that represents clean air and clear skies to you. 

Clean air and blue skies are not just about beautiful landscapes, they’re vital to the health and well-being of our communities across Africa. From the farmers in the fields to the children playing in the streets, the quality of the air we breathe impacts every aspect of our lives. Clean air means healthier lungs, clearer minds, and more productive days at work and school. It allows us to enjoy outdoor activities without worry, to celebrate our traditions under bright skies and to build a future where everyone can thrive.

Breathe Easy and Show Us Your Clear Skies!

What comes to mind when you think of clean air? A beautiful landscape? Exercising outdoors? Picnicking in the park with loved ones or riding a bike?
