Pollution is everywhere. From toxic chemicals and textile waste to vehicle emissions and plastic pollution, this crisis claims millions of lives each year. For example, microplastics infiltrate rivers, food systems, and our bodies, while harmful chemicals contaminate soils and waterways. Nearly everyone on Earth breathes unsafe air.

That's why countries are stepping up efforts to transition away from unnecessary single-use plastics, phase out toxic substances, green transport systems, make fashion more sustainable, and strengthen accountability for producers.

UNEP is supporting these efforts with science, policy advice, and partnerships across sectors, from mining to agriculture to energy.

Kenya must not roll back clean air gains.
Raising sulphur limits in fuel from 10ppm to 50ppm reverses progress under KEBS and EAC standards (KS EAS 158 & 177), exposing communities to more pollution, disease, and environmental harm.

We call on the Government to uphold ultra-low sulphur fuel standards and protect public health.
