AI for Clean Air: Scaling Smarter Solutions

Air pollution is one of the most pressing development challenges globally, with far-reaching impacts on health, productivity, and economic growth. In South Asia alone, nearly one billion people are exposed to hazardous air every day, leading to around one million premature deaths annually, and shortening average life expectancy by more than three years. This AI for Clean Air virtual event brings together global experts, innovators, and regional leaders to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming air quality management (AQM)—from real-time pollution mapping and predictive forecasting to private sector solutions and job creation.
