Representative Image: The conference will B spotlight solutions to improve air quality…

In recognition of the urgent need to tackle the global issue of air pollution and lack of energy access, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General, has announced that WHO will host the Second global conference on air pollution and health: accelerating action for clean air, clean energy access and climate change mitigation. The event will take place in Cartagena, Colombia, between 25 and 27 March 2025, with pre- and post-conference sessions on March 24 and 28.

The conference will highlight much needed policy solutions for air pollution and lack of energy access. It will also help in catalyzing evidence-based, multi-sectoral actions in cities, countries and regions that aim to prevent diseases and save lives around the world.

Air pollution knows no boundaries or no borders and affects almost all vital organs and systems in our body. Toxic pollutants pass from the air into our bodies, from our blood to our brains, and from a pregnant mother to her unborn child. Due to many sources of air pollution, many actors must collaborate to put solutions in place.

The high-level event will bring together ministers of health, environment and energy, as well as officials of national, intergovernmental and development agencies. Participants will include health professionals, mayors, local authorities and planners, representatives of critical sectors such as energy, transport, industry, waste and land-use, as well as delegates from research, academia and civil society.
