Theme

Atmospheric pollution has widespread impacts on citizens globally, affecting residents’ health and wellbeing. While the problem is widely documented, developing strategies to implement and promote action in our cities remain critical. African cities will need to improve their response measures to managing urban air quality if they are to successfully house the future largest growing and youngest urban population. This seminar will bring together researchers, advocates and policymakers to consider how we leverage data to inspire action and change in our cities in order to promote better living environments.
