World Economic Forum: the role of AI in reducing urban pollution

The World Economic Forum asked us to write about the role of AI in reducing urban pollution. Artificial intelligence (AI) enhances how we detect and forecast urban air pollution by analyzing large, complex datasets from sensors, satellites and even crowdsourced data. AI tools offer personalized insights into pollution exposure, enabling individuals to make healthier choices in their daily routines.While AI holds great promise, its deployment must be inclusive and ethically guided – without careful implementation, it could exacerbate existing inequalities, especially in underserved regions.

55th Anniversary of Earth Day

This Earth Day theme, Our Power, Our Planet, invites the world to unite behind renewable energy and commit to tripling the global generation of clean electricity by 2030! At Air Aware Labs, we understand that clean energy is not only vital for a sustainable planet but also for the health of the air we breathe. As Earth Day 2025 focuses on accelerating renewable energy, we’re proud to contribute by empowering individuals to track and improve their air quality exposure in real time. We believe that this increased awareness of the risks posed to individuals also contributes to public demand for clean energy solutions.

World Economic Forum: 6 inspirational clean air stories from 2024

World Economic Forum asked us to write about inspirational stories on air quality in the run up to the World Health Organisation 2nd Global Conference on Air Pollution and Health. City-based and health initiatives are helping major cities reduce air pollution and climate emissions. New technologies, such as AI tools for pollution modelling and hyper-local personalized tracking of exposure, are helping tackle air pollution effects. While air quality programmes have historically been underfunded, new commitments could signal a shift toward greater investment in future.

The Vital Role of Wetlands

Covering just 6% of the earth’s surface, wetlands are vital for human survival. While wetlands are well-known for their critical role in supporting biodiversity, they also play an equally vital, though overlooked, role in regulating air quality and the climate. However, rising air pollution and climate change are putting wetlands under increasing pressure, threatening their ability to filter pollutants, store carbon, and sustain biodiversity.
