DESCRIPTION:\n	(A/RES/74/212)\n\n\n\n	Аir pollution is the single great
	est environmental risk to human health and one of the main avoidable cause
	s of death and disease globally\, with some estimated 6.5 million prematur
	e deaths (2016) across the world attributed to indoor and outdoor air poll
	ution. Particularly in developing countries\, air pollution disproportiona
	tely affects women\, children and the elderly\, especially in low-income p
	opulations as they are often exposed to high levels of ambient air polluti
	on and indoor air pollution from cooking and heating with wood fuel and ke
	rosene.\n\n\n\n	Аir pollution is a global problem with far-reaching impac
	ts owing to its transport over long distances. In the absence of aggressiv
	e intervention\, the number of premature deaths resulting from ambient air
	 pollution is estimated to be on track to increase by more than 50 per cen
	t by 2050.\n\n\n\n	Society bears a high cost of air pollution due to the n
	egative impacts on the economy\, work productivity\, healthcare costs and 
	tourism\, among others. Hence\, the economic benefits of investing in air 
	pollution control cannot be overestimated\, and it must be understood that
	 there is also an economic rationale to act and that cost-effective soluti
	ons exist to address air pollution.\n\n\n\n	Poor air quality is a challeng
	e in the context of sustainable development for all countries\, in particu
	lar in cities and urban areas in developing countries\, with levels of air
	 pollution that are higher than the limits set out in the World Health Org
	anization air quality guidelines. \n\n\n\n	Some air pollutants\, such as 
	black carbon\, methane and ground-level ozone\, are also short-lived clima
	te pollutants and are responsible for a significant portion of air polluti
	on-related deaths\, as well as impacts on crops and hence food security\, 
	so their reduction has co-benefits for the climate.\n\n\n\n	International 
	Day of Clean Air for blue skies\n\n	UN Member States recognize the need to
	 substantially reduce the number of deaths and illnesses from hazardous ch
	emicals and air\, water and soil pollution and contamination by 2030\, as 
	well as to reduce the adverse per capita environmental impact of cities\, 
	including by paying special attention to air quality and municipal and oth
	er waste management by 2030.\n\n\n\n	Clean air is important for the health
	 and day-to-day lives of people\, while air pollution is the single greate
	st environmental risk to human health and one of the main avoidable causes
	 of death and disease globally. Air pollution disproportionately affects w
	omen\, children and older persons\, and also has a negative impact on ecos
	ystems.\n\n\n\n	Today\, the international community acknowledges that impr
	oving air quality can enhance climate change mitigation and that climate c
	hange mitigation efforts can improve air quality.\n\n\n\n	Encouraged by th
	e increasing interest of the international community in clean air\, and em
	phasizing the need to make further efforts to improve air quality\, includ
	ing reducing air pollution\, to protect human health\, the General Assembl
	y decided to designate 7 September as the International Day of Clean Air f
	or blue skies.\n\n\n\n	Clean Air and Sustainable Development Goals\n\n	In 
	the outcome document of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Devel
	opment\, entitled \"The future we want\,\" countries committed to promotin
	g sustainable development policies that support healthy air quality in the
	 context of sustainable cities and human settlements. Also\, the 2030 Agen
	da for Sustainable Development\, which outlines a road map to achieving su
	stainable development\, environmental protection and prosperity for all\, 
	recognizes that air pollution abatement is important to the attainment of 
	the Sustainable Development Goals.\n\n
