Global Conference Shines Light on Air Quality and Public Health
In an era where the impact of air pollution reaches every corner of the globe, the Second Global Conference on Air Pollution and Health, to be held from March 25 to 27, 2025, in the beautiful city of Cartagena, Colombia, promises to be a beacon of hope and innovation. The venue, Centro de Convenciones Cartagena de Indias, will open its doors to a distinguished gathering of global leaders, health professionals, and advocates united with one goal—accelerating action for clean air and energy access while mitigating climate change.
A Call to Action
The conference is not just an assembly but a rallying cry to share the latest evidence on the health risks posed by air pollution and energy poverty. Delve into comprehensive assessment tools and newly available resources designed to empower decision-makers around the world.
Charting Global Progress
Participants will evaluate progress since the 2015 WHA resolution and the launch of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This session will also spotlight the intertwined benefits air pollution reduction initiatives can have on health, climate resilience, gender equality, and social equity.
Empowering Health Professionals
One of the conference’s pivotal themes is mobilizing health practitioners to become active advocates and ‘prescribers’ of clean air. It seeks to challenge the health sector to reduce its own environmental footprint.
Aligning Energy and Health
Experts will explore innovative ways to harness climate and development finance, showcasing models for ensuring a just energy transition that aligns with air quality goals. This not only secures cleaner air but also opens doors for robust international cooperation and financial commitments as part of the BreatheLife campaign.
The Power of Collaboration
The conference will be a gathering of minds from ministers to city planners, each bringing invaluable insights from critical sectors such as energy, transport, and industry. Their collaboration is vital to promote cohesive strategies to combat air pollution effectively.
As stated in World Health Organization (WHO), the conference is structured to inspire multi-sectoral coordination and solutions, designed not only to tackle communicable and noncommunicable diseases but also to energize efforts towards climate change mitigation.
