Clean Air Asia was established in 2001 by the Asian Development Bank, the World Bank, and USAID. Today, we are registered as an international non-governmental organization that leads the regional mission for beer air quality and healthier, more livable cities in Asia. We aim to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions in 1000+ cities in Asia through policies and programs that cover air quality, transport, industrial emissions, and energy use. We work with ministries (energy, urban development, environment, health, and transport), cities in Asia, the private sector and development agencies to provide leadership and technical knowledge for Air Quality Management. Clean Air Asia is headquartered in Manila and has offices in Beijing and New Delhi.

Clean Air Asia (CAA)’s work in India involves engaging with Indian cities for beer air quality management (AQM). This aligns with the overall CAA work program on broad air quality (AQ) interventions. Our expertise lies in providing scientific inputs to city governments for beer air quality management, sustainable transport, low emissions, urban development, and education/ communication for clean air in India. The focus of our work in India is in cities with high impact potential, as well as potential for leveraging wider change.

We are supporting Indian cities in improving air quality management through capacity building and give direct support to preparing air action plans. We have also launched the Clean Air Knowledge Network(cities4cleanair.com), a forum that connects AQ experts and practitioners from across India and city officials with an objective to promote knowledge sharing across cities on AQ issues and share best practices. A major component of our India Program is education for beer air quality. Our Youth Clean Air Network (YCAN) is a volunteer program in which youth can passionately work together for beer air quality. In the past, the Indian team has worked on green freight and sustainable mobility projects, conducting walkability studies in Indian cities, developing the Walkability App, the National Bus Fuel Efficiency Framework, the Green Trucks Toolkits for India, and an online freight brokerage platform.
