Grants

This grant enables Our Kids’ Climate to strategically scale effective grassroots clean air campaigns across its global network, embedding child-focused messaging into climate narratives and mobilising parent-led movements to drive policy change.

This is a pilot project introducing the topic of air quality to the investment sector. It includes increasing investors' awareness of the financial risks associated with air pollution.

With open waste burning a major source of pollution in Ghana, this project aims to design and build a sustainable model for waste collection and management in Accra.

This project will produce a report making the case for action on tropospheric ozone to be launched at COP29. It will also deliver a longer-term roadmap for engagement beyond COP from 2025-2030

In partnership with the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), this project will develop black carbon, NOx, SOx and PM 2.5 calculation guidelines for logistics chains (Global Logisitics Emissions Council framework), so that logistics companies better report emissions across their operations.

The project aims to support the integration of air quality and black carbon into the next generation of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC 3.0). The UNDP will engage with at least eight countries to integrate air quality and black carbon into their NDCs.

To tackle key scientific barriers in addressing black carbon, this project will produce a scientific review, evaluate emission inventories and analyse black carbon representation in climate models. The project aims to improve climate impact estimates and build scientific consensus to inform policymaking and international processes.

The SEI-Y team works with the corporate Alliance for Clean Air to provide technical support and strategic guidance on how companies can quantify and reduce their air pollutant emissions.

The project allowed the World Bank to extend the scope of their Country Climate and Development Report for Poland to include the air quality angle.

This project will increase the effectiveness of the Clean Heat Europe coalition with dedicated campaign support, and framing better air quality as an important benefit of transitioning to clean heat.
