The CLEAN-Air Forum is the flagship event of the Africa Clean Air Network (AfriCAN). It serves as a platform to convene policymakers, academia, industry, media and civil society organisations to foster knowledge sharing, collaboration, and cross-border partnerships to address air pollution across Africa.
The 2026 CLEAN-Air Forum will be held under the theme “investment case for clean air and healthy cities” and seeks to achieve the following goals:
- Highlight progress on the implementation of evidence-driven clean air actions in Africa and opportunities for capacity strengthening on science-driven interventions.
- Increase the adoption of integrated solutions and best practices for air quality data handling, modelling and forecasting using low-cost sensors, reference-grade monitors, Artificial Intelligence, and remote sensing.
- Foster cross-border knowledge sharing and increase synergies with existing initiatives, including the Africa Clean Air Programme (ACAP), and other regional networks
- Discuss and co-create potential pathways and models for sustainable funding streams, including private sector-led investments.
Further details forthcoming.
