Call for EOIs: Wearable Air Quality Sensors for Storytelling, Community Engagement & Campaigning

Open Call for Project Proposals: Tadamon Crowdfunding Academy in Maldives

Deadline: 15-Sep-23

The Clean Air Fund is looking to support an international network or organisation working on an issue that intersects with air pollution (e.g., climate change, health, waste burning, active travel).

Clean Air Fund wants to work with a partner who would like to pilot the use of wearable air quality sensors – small, portable devices that measure a person’s individual exposure to air pollution – to tell human-led, data-informed stories and/or use citizen science to advance their existing campaigning and advocacy goals.

This open call invites interested international organisations or networks to share expressions of interest, including how they would use wearables in their work and how wearables could ultimately support them to drive change including and beyond clean air.

Air quality monitoring is often highly technical, poorly communicated and limited to academic or specialist audiences. However, wearables can bring the problem of air quality to life by telling human-led stories of personal exposure. They are smaller and more portable than other sensors and can enable communities, campaigners, and others to tell the stories that are most relevant to them – and help legitimise their perspective on the issue of air quality. It has been shown that the use of wearables is an impactful campaigning tool, supporting:
