July 29 , 2025 11 hrs 0 min 21 0
  • The WHO has released a new set of Science and Policy Summaries (SPS) aimed at reducing the health impacts of air pollution globally.
  • The announcement follows the Second WHO Global Conference on Air Pollution and Health, held in March 2025 in Cartagena, Colombia.
  • These SPS documents are designed to provide the sector-specific policy guidance, particularly for low- and middle-income countries that face a disproportionate burden from air pollution.
  • The SPS series translates the latest scientific evidence into actionable policy recommendations for governments and decision-makers.
  • WHO aims to drive coordinated efforts across sectors such as transport, energy, waste management, and agriculture, all of which significantly contribute to air quality.
