EVIA joins global coalition for Healthy Indoor Air at UNGA80
16/09/2025
As part of the upcoming high-level side event “Healthy Indoor Air: A Global Call to Action”, more than 60 leading international organizations are joining forces to drive meaningful action on indoor air quality.
From UN agencies to top universities, from public health institutions to building technology experts, this coalition sends a clear message:
the air we breathe indoors is a global issue — central to public health, equity, and climate resilience.
