Grants

The project promotes reduced use of high-emission vehicles in urban areas, primarily through evidence-based recommendations (car inspections, Low Emission Zones, transport hubs) to national and local decision-makers.

The grant addresses air quality, climate, and economic challenges by promoting clean air technologies for the heating and transport sectors, piloting the "Cleantech for Europe" in Poland.

Lungs Europe will equip incoming MEPs with a solid understanding of the negative health outcomes attributed to air pollution, and encourage good environmental health policies during their five-year mandates.

Smoglab, the main environmental news portal, generates media and social media coverage on air quality and sustainable mobility in Poland. In addition, Smoglab issues a regular "Clean Air Barometer" - tool allowing to track the progress of needed air-quality policies.

ECAC, in collaboration with Mazovia regional authorities, piloted a robust air quality policy and intervention assessment model in Mazovia. Deployment of the tool allows better targetting of policies, but also provided inputs to development of a unified national AQ monitor tool.

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.

The project engages networks of current and future health professionals to talk about the health impacts of air pollution, to prevent illness among vulnernable populations.

This project will build awareness and community engagement on air quality in priority areas in South Africa as well as building the capacity of community-based organisations to overcome barriers.

This project will generate localised evidence showing the link between air pollution and mortality in South Africa and provide the government with data on why they should recognise clean air as a public health priority.

This project aims to establish a centralised platform for collecting, analysing and disseminating air quality data in Ghana. The project seeks to provide policymakers, researchers and the public with comprehensive insights into air pollution levels.
