Abstract
Because air pollution knows no borders and because it has impacts and causes far away from its physical origin, answers need to embrace a transboundary dimension. One would expect a global comprehensive regime on air pollution, including on its transboundary dimension, but there is none today, except for the significant role the World Health Organization (WHO) plays, with its indicative guidelines on ambient air pollution, in influencing debates and policies across the world. So far, current regimes are still insufficient and poorly implemented. But times are changing due to the pressure of citizen movements and the rise of public interest litigation, making the recognition of a fundamental right to clean air a core claim.
