Reframing Air Quality Conversations: Lessons from Nairobi's Clean Air Catalyst Project linkedin.com/pulse/reframin…

We’re honored to have welcomed @MattBrittin President @GoogleEurope & @GoogleAfrica, to the #AirQuality monitoring site at the Fire Station in Nairobi, 🇰🇪. Together with @NairobiCityGov & @WRIafrica, we showcased and highlighted our efforts in enabling access to air quality data and leveraging #AI to predict #AirPollution levels for #CleanAir in the City. @Googleorg @RebekahGShirley

🌍📷 With @AirQoProject had a fantastic discussion with @MattBrittin and Alex Okosi of Google at our Nairobi Firestation air quality monitoring site. We explored how A I and data can enhance analysis to drive sustainable solutions for cleaner air. 📷cleanaircatalyst.org

I have directed NEMA's Nairobi office to launch a major crackdown on pollution, targeting noise from clubs, nighttime construction, improper waste disposal and air quality. The multi-agency operation, led by NEMA Police Unit, marks the beginning of a nationwide anti-pollution campaign. Going forward, NEMA will not permit clubs in residential areas unless they fully comply with soundproofing and environmental laws. The era of impunity by club owners and private developers must end.
