JOIN THE RACE FOR CLEAN AIR

Did you know that 99% of people globally breathe unsafe air that’s so polluted, it breaches World Health Organisation limits.

Air pollution is a hidden threat, claiming more than seven million lives a year.

World Athletics' vision is a world where people can run, move and play freely – without the risk of severe health impacts from air pollution. So we’re on a mission to ensure the future of sport by securing access to clean air for everyone.

OUR DECLARATION

We need you – our communities – to raise your voices and campaign for change.

World Athletics are calling for local and national governments and civil society to take action. They need to meet air quality guidelines set by the World Health Organization while monitoring and reducing air pollution globally.
