Smog-choked mornings, rising respiratory illnesses and climate extremes are clear reminders that clean air is not a luxury, it is a fundamental right. Addressing air pollution demands collective resolve, coordinated policy action, and responsible behavior from every segment of society. Encouragingly, awareness about air quality is growing, and governments are beginning to respond with structured clean air policies. Clean air requires cooperation between federal and local governments, coordination among departments, and partnerships with the private sector and communities. Data-driven planning, accountability, and sustained political will are essential to ensure that clean air commitments translate into real-world improvements.
