The COVID-19 recovery offers a window to develop and implement climate action plans that integrate planning on energy, health and sustainable development towards a more sustainable and resilient recovery. SEI research comprises tools for and insights into such synergistic planning, and highlights how policies on fossil fuel production, air pollution and industry transition can be harnessed for more ambitious and effective NDCs.

Nairobi, 7 September 2020 – As the world celebrates the first International Day of Clean Air for blue skies, a new assessment is being developed to illustrate how Africa can achieve key development goals, provide clean air for its people, and help the global fight against climate change. The assessment aims to inform decision making for sustainable economic development in Africa.

As the global community prepares to mark the first International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies, countries of all income and development levels are demonstrating that a focus on local air pollution can raise ambition needed to address global climate change.

SEI provides policy advice and measures for addressing air pollution, health and climate change mitigation on the first UN International Day of Clean Air for blue skies.

Research by SEI is contributing to heated debates about the best way to manage one of the UK’s most precious upland habitats.

Kevin Hicks, International Nitrogen Initiative (INI) Europe Director contributed to the July issue of Air Quality News newsletter talking about the impact of ammonia emissions.

In Post COVID-19 recovery, public green spaces should play a key role in “building back better”.

The Scientific Advisory Panel of the Climate and Clean Air Coalition – which includes SEI Research Leader Johan C.I. Kuylenstierna – formally issued a call to the global scientific and policy community to work together to help the world recover from the Covid-19 crisis. Published by the International Journal of Public Health, the call urges economic stimulus efforts that make needed connections between health, air pollution, climate and the environment.

Where you live, your income, and how your government has responded to the pandemic can result in critical differences in the availability and accessibility of green spaces, as shown here by the experience of SEI researchers around the world. In the recovery, public green spaces should play a key role in “building back better”.

During the years 2015-2019, SEI invested in research, tool development and capacity enhancement as part of an initiative on Low Emissions Development Pathways (LED-P Initiative).Read about the outcomes and achievements of the work creating an integrated framework for climate change and air pollution, along with easy-to-use planning and analytical tools.

Covid-19 is an unprecedented public health crisis, but it also offers a unique opportunity to revive our societies. Here, SEI experts make recommendations for a sustainable recovery, focusing on policies to promote equity, resilience and green growth.

Against the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic, SEI conducted a group question-and-answer session to discuss known and emerging issues about air pollution. Senior Research Fellow Chris Malley, Research Leader Johan C.I. Kuylenstierna, and Acting Africa Centre Director Philip Osano answered questions posed by Communications Officer Karen Brandon.

Even if you are isolating, there are a range of citizen science initiatives that can help you connect with and support nature.

SEI’s Marisa Escobar, Alison Dyke and Hector Angarita introduce the SEI Initiative on Water Beyond Boundaries and how it will help to break down barriers to sustainable water management for all.

Sustainable consumption and production is often treated as a single concept, but the two agendas have, in practice, operated in virtual isolation – often talking about each other, but rarely interacting, and in the process critically weakening both. In 2015, SEI launched a new research initiative to explore why that is, and how to get the two working together.
