Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) hosted two edit-a-thons in 2019 and 2020, conducted a webinar to raise awareness about Wikipedia, and compiled the guide “How to contribute climate change information to Wikipedia: A guide for researchers, practitioners and communicators.

Nairobi NMT newsletter : air quality and non-motorized transport

Air pollution causes and exacerbates respiratory diseases such as pneumonia, asthma, lung cancer, emphysema, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. These diseases rank among the top three causes of death in Nairobi (Kenya) and were the leading causes of morbidity in 2014. The newsletter focuses on non-motorized transport (NMT) and air quality hotspots in Nairobi. Providing access to local air quality data and improving knowledge about air pollution exposure could be powerful factors in helping to decrease the mortality rates and disease burden in Kenya. Children are most vulnerable to the effects of air pollution.Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Netherland
