At he headquarters of the World Health Organization (WHO) , Letizia was accompanied by the Director General of WHO. Prior to the start of plenary session II: “Air Quality and Health Effector: Resources and Support from WHO”, Her Majesty the Queen held a brief meeting with the Director General of WHO.

Approximately 91% of the world population breathes an unhealthy air, which is the cause of some 7 million deaths per year. The World Health Assembly has mandated WHO to take the lead in the fight against what is today one of the world’s leading causes of premature death.

The Conference brought together global, national and local partners to share knowledge and mobilize to improve air quality and health globally.

The most recent evidences on the repercussions of air pollution on health will be presented; the methods of monitoring pollution and exposure, and the instruments to evaluate and implement effective interventions. Strong leadership from the health sector, in collaboration with other sectors, will be stimulated to achieve changes. Cities and countries were invited to join the BreatheLife campaign and commit to reducing air pollution by 2030, in line with the WHO Guidelines on air quality.
