The General Assembly of the United Nations on December 19, 2020 had adopted a resolution to observe the International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies on 7th September every year starting from this year.
Union Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar will chair a webinar on 7th September the first-ever International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies.
The Day aims to:
- Raise public awareness at all levels—individual, community, corporate and government—that clean air is important for health, productivity, the economy and the environment.
- Demonstrate the close link of air quality to other environmental/developmental challenges such as – most and foremost – climate change and the global Sustainable Development Goals.
