Act now for clean air!

Everyday, the air that most of us breathe is increasing our risk of strokes, heart disease, lung cancer, asthma, and so much more. Air pollution is a global health crisis.

This pollution comes largely from burning fossil fuels, which is also driving the climate emergency. So while we pay the price of air pollution with our health, fossil fuel companies are profiting.

To make sure we can all thrive on an abundant, clean planet, we must curb our toxic addiction to fossil fuels.

The good news is that, around the world, millions of people are standing up demanding solutions. Cities and countries around the world are already taking action. Now, we urgently need more of them to follow. We need to:

  • Phase out coal-fired power stations
  • Stop the sale of new petrol and diesel cars
  • Regulate heavy industry

Our health cannot wait. And neither can our planet, the only place we have ever called our home.

Stop burning fossil fuels - oil, coal, and gas - which are harming our health and that of the planet. There is no excuse for not taking urgent action on air pollution. We have the right to clean air. #CleanAirNow
