CIV:LAB Climate Fund was one of our supporters for the Dearborn Public Health air quality network this past year! 🤩 Check out their work, enhancing accessibility for climate grant funding for community driven projects 🌳 #ClimateFunding #ClimateAction #CommunityDriven

While infuriating, this headline isn’t surprising. It’s exactly why we do this work. Without equitable access to reliable air quality data, our communities are left blind to the root causes of health disparities that continue to harm our loved ones. Clean air is a right, not a privilege. We will keep working to ensure that EVERY community has access to the trusted insights they need to create the healthier future they deserve. 💨 🌍 #AirQuality #CleanAirForAll #JustAir

✍ A Cumulative Impact Analysis (CIA) is a comprehensive approach that considers all indirect or direct burdens to a community. Leaders such as MassDEP and Minnesota Pollution Control Agency have already begun implementing cumulative impact policies to promote healthier communities and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is following suit in this more holistic approach to address uneven environmental justice. Last month, the EPA drafted an interim CIA framework to incorporate analysis and consideration of cumulative impacts into their programmatic work and they’re looking for feedback by February. Take a look at existing CIA resources and share ideas on how the EPA can improve peoples’ lives and well being.

“AI allows us to dig deeper into the root causes of pollution. It helps us analyze data patterns—such as specific pollutants, weather conditions, and wind patterns—to pinpoint sources of air pollution with greater confidence. By marrying environmental context with real-time data, we can provide more accurate insights.“ – Darren Riley, cofounder, JustAir JustAir, a Detroit-based startup cofounded by Darren Riley, leverages data and technology to provide hyper-local air quality insights – largely in urban areas.

💚 We love to see our partners across the country get creative in promoting clean air! Our partners Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians in the shared land of North Carolina have made their own air quality index (AQI) light on a billboard! This billboard changes color to match the AQI of a nearby air quality monitor, making data even more public. Thanks to Katie Tiger and her team for this wonderful innovation!
