숫자로 보기
In Africa, air pollution work has been carried out by small research groups, government agencies, civil society organizations, and activists for years. However, now platforms like the Africa Clean Air Network (AfriCAN) are bringing institutions together to strengthen air quality action.
AfriCAN was established as a network of over 80 institutions aiming to strengthen air quality research and accelerate policy action. The network's leaders state that air quality work is a young field in Africa but has gained interest over the past decade.
Additionally, the network promotes the expansion of air quality monitoring efforts across Africa and encourages governments to adopt national air quality standards. This year's Africa Clean Air Forum discussed the need for investment in clean air action and how governments and organizations can sustain clean air programs.
