Clean air is a right! Cricketing legend and former Pakistani captain wasimakramliveofficial is calling for collective action and greater awareness to
#EndAirPollution.
Air pollution causes an estimated 2 million premature deaths in South Asia every year. In some parts of the region, levels of air pollution are 20 times higher than what the World Health Organization (WHO) considers healthy.
Some of the main sources include industries, waste burning, traditional cooking, and vehicular pollution. The multi-sectoral and multi-regional nature of air pollution means we need action on many fronts.
Join our sports champions and the World Bank Group to make a collective effort for
#CleanAir and blue skies.
