Poor air quality in the form of particulate matter (PM2.5) is the number one health risk to humankind. Installing air quality monitors and sharing real-time data publicly allows citizens to understand the depth of the air pollution problem where they live and call for change. The EPIC Air Quality Fund supports local governments and organisations through awards ranging from $50,000-$75,000 USD to facilitate the installation of air quality monitors, providing open data to communities, and driving national-level impact in countries that could benefit the most. Our goal is to expand access to air quality data to 1 billion people by 2030.

The World Bank Group Institute for Economic Development is an initiative for global collaboration in tackling key development challenges. It turns knowledge into real-world impact by amplifying new ideas and voices, by partnering with local think tanks and experts, and by expanding access across languages and borders.
