Description

Deliver Change invites you to the launch of our initiative: Let's Make Air Pollution Visible. The initiative builds on extensive current media interest, and brings together academics, businesses, government, and communities to better measure and mitigate air pollution.

We have an interesting morning planned discussing next steps in addressing air quality and taking the AirSensa project national in the inspiring setting of the Wellcome Trust’s HQ building at 215 Euston Road. We are excited to announce that the Wellcome trust support our Initiative and event:

“The Wellcome Trust recognise the serious health and economic problems posed by air quality and believe monitoring is essential in increasing our understanding of these impacts. We are excited to be installing Airsensa technology on the exterior of our head office and museum buildings and will be looking into expanding this in the future beyond our core estate to the wider community. We are proud to be hosting the Visible campaign launch at our head office on the 29/06/15 and believe that there is significant scope for organisations to contribute to this exciting project, encouraging long term positive changes”


Event details

It's happening at the Wellcome Trust at 9am on Monday 29th June.

Registration starts at 8:30 and the event will finish before noon. Attendees will include policy-makers, influencers, facilitators, and many of our partners.
