Launch of the WHO Global Air Quality Guidelines

Virtual Press Conference

When: Wednesday, 22 September at 15.00 CEST (Geneva/Copenhagen/Bonn)

Subject: Launch of the WHO Global Air Quality Guidelines

Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General and Dr Hans Henri P. Kluge, WHO Regional Director for Europe, will launch the new WHO Global Air Quality Guidelines (AQGs) at the virtual press conference.
