About the event
Nairobi will participate for the first time in the global Air Quality Awareness Week from May 1st to May 5th, with a cycling procession organized by Critical Mass Nairobi taking place on May 3rd. The cycling procession dubbed NairobiRide4Life will take participants through different streets within Nairobi business district. The awareness campaign seeks to create a community movement for clean air and the provision of better and safer walking and cycling infrastructure.
The Air Quality Awareness Week is part of the Clean Air Catalyst program, a global partnership supported by USAID and led by World Resources Institute in Nairobi. Launched in June 2022, the program is collaborating with Nairobi City County Government, NEMA, global partners such as Internews’ Earth Journalism Network, OpenAQ and Vital Strategies, and a wide range of public and private local partners. The program seeks to improve understanding of air quality and co-design locally tailored solutions that curb air pollution, tackle climate change, and improve human health.
