In Nairobi, the city government is working to tackle air pollution by creating a city-owned system to manage air quality data. This aligns with the Breathe Nairobi Strategy to fight air pollution, protect public health, and support sustainable urban development. The government plans to use data to make decisions, set up a monitoring network, enforce strict rules, and involve the community. With help from partners like the World Resources Institute and UNEP, the county aims to make a healthier environment for its people.
