Grants

Smart Freight Centre’s Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) developed a Black Carbon methodology to offer guidelines for the voluntary measurement and reporting of black carbon emissions (tank-to-wheel) in the logistics sector. In this project, SmartFreight will update their black carbon methodology and develop calculation guidelines for logistics chains, integrating these into the GLEC Framework.

The SEI-Y team closely collaborates with the Alliance for Clean Air and partners. They provide technical support and strategic guidance on quantifying air pollutant emissions, integrating these emissions into ESG/Sustainability reports, developing scenarios and targets, and addressing challenges identified with member feedback. The grant will enable more members to complete these tasks and create resources independently.

The Alliance for Clean Air brings together leading businesses to commit to measure and reduce air pollutant emissions, invest in innovation for clean air, and champion the social, economic and climate benefits of tackling air pollution. This grant also supports the Global Future Council for Clean Air at the World Economic Forum.

A collection of air pollution photographs, free for non-profit, educational and editorial use. The over 200 photographs depict air pollution and the communities most affected in Indonesia, Poland, South Africa and the UK.

This project aims to develop resources to build capacity of members of the cardiology societies and heart foundations around the world to raise awareness and advocate for policy change in support of improved air quality. In collaboration with affiliate organisations (WHO), WHF will strengthen efforts to improve air quality and the evidence of cardiovascular disease burden from air pollution.

A series of case studies to showcase real world examples of win-win clean air policy solutions for climate and health at COP28 (and beyond), to better equip the health sector to serve as effective change agents. It demonstrates different approaches to engage the health sector, at different levels of local data and capacity, to advance scalable clean air solutions.

This project will mobilise health community advocacy groups to call on Governments to act on air pollution as an urgent health and child development priority. It will convene a panel of experts from the UICC membership to develop evidence-based resources, and to highlight the evidence on air pollution and cancers.

This co-funded capacity development project is built around a train-the-trainer programme for city and government policy-makers in Latin America and the Caribbean to quantify health impacts of air pollution and health benefits of policy change using the AirQ+ toolkit. This project aims to be a global pace-setter for other WHO/UNEP regions to replicate.

This project will bridge evidence gaps on the health impacts of air pollution and help partners to communicate their findings to media, public and decision-makers more effectively. This project would create a practical, tangible toolkit, in the form of a dedicated training module to develop air pollution-specific skills in science-communication and media messaging, anchored in proven communications tactics, but specific to air pollution themes and its particular challenges.

To ensure that credible evidence on the impacts of air pollution on people’s health and on effective solutions is better communicated and understood at a local and global level. This project will help to ensure that data is delivered to decision makers in a way that informs and drives ambitious action towards cleaner air.
