Nairobi will participate for the first time in the global Air Quality Awareness Week from May 1st to May 5th. The signature event will be Wednesday’s Nairobi Ride4Life, a cycling procession through the Nairobi business district to create a community movement for clean air and the provision of better and safer walking and cycling infrastructure.
Clean Air Catalyst, a global partnership supported by USAID and led by World Resources Institute in Nairobi, is partnering with Nairobi City County Government, National Environment Management Authority, U.S. Agency for International Development, Mama Cycling, Critical Mass Nairobi, UNEP, Health Effects Institute, AirQo, Safer Nairobi Initiative, and other organizations to host the Nairobi Ride4Life.
