City Solutions Toolkit: Stakeholder mobilization for air quality monitoring

Understanding possible ways of stakeholder participation is important to ensure public support, not only in the data collection processes, but also in the implementation of pollution control measures. Ensuring a participatory process gives stakeholders a sense of ownership for the city’s activities and actions. In most cases, this can lead to more sustained efforts that are needed to continuously improve air quality in the city. After all, every individual and group will gain environmental, health, and economic benefits from air quality improvements.
