Clean Air Day 2025
Clean Air Day is the UK’s largest air pollution campaign, brought to you by Global Action Plan with the support of Health Equals. It was launched in 2017 and helps focus attention on taking collective action to clean up our air, and boost public awareness and understanding of the health harms of air pollution.
2025's campaign, taking place on 19 June, highlights the fact that air pollution affects us from before our first breath until our last. The team are encouraging individuals to get involved by learning more about the health harms of air pollution and asking MPs to champion more ambitious air quality targets in UK law so everyone can breathe cleaner air and live healthier lives.
Organisations can get involved by using the campaign comms pack to highlight the health harms of air pollution and encourage others to take action, as well as hosting events to bring communities together in support of cleaner air.
