Clean Air with Global Action Plan
We have worked with Global Action Plan to develop a set of high quality, curriculum linked schools’ resources on air quality.
These resources will empower students and your school community to find out why clean air is important, the sources of air pollution and the actions we can all take to protect ourselves from the health harms of air pollution.

This activity explores why clean air is important, the sources of air pollution and the actions we can all take to protect ourselves from the health harms of air pollution.

They will identify one clean air action they think is important for their school and design an example communication tool for a target audience who could help make this change happen.
