The Clean Air Right Platform (THHP) brings together 15 health, environmental and climate organisations in Turkey under the motto Clean air for everyone. It reports at least 68,440 air-pollution deaths in Turkey in 2022, about one in seven, and says Turkey still has no legal limit for PM2.5. In September 2026 the Council of State halted Article 20 of the Industrial Emissions Management Regulation after a case brought by its associated association. It also publishes a Turkish edition of a children's clean-air activity book based on a UN Special Rapporteur report.
