The High-level Assembly of the Climate and Clean Air Coalition to Reduce Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (CCAC) opened on Tuesday, 19 May 2015, with a CCAC-World Health Organization (WHO) Evening Cultural Event & Reception. The evening featured the BREATHE exhibition which was developed specifically for the High Level Assembly, to stimulate reflections on the importance of addressing air pollution, health and climate change.

The cultural event and reception was followed by the High Level Assembly, which provided an opportunity for dialogue between environment and health ministries on air quality strategies.
