After extensive convenings with expert stakeholders, we’ve developed the Air Canvas– a strategic exercise to map the air quality (AQ) data value chain, from data creation to citizen engagement.
It covers four types of AQ data:
- Real-time
- Historical
- Forecasting
- Activity
Through this canvas, we explore key questions:
- Who is working across the value chain, and how?
- Where are actions concentrated along the chain?
- In what formats is AQ data available, and how interoperable is it?
- What are the core use-cases of interventions?
We would like to give a special note of thanks to Sunil Dahiya (EnviroCatalysts) for his guidance in shaping this exercise.
What’s inside the Canvas document:
-
Framing Questions – Flowchart mapping the core questions guiding our understanding of the upstream AQ landscape
-
The AQ Canvas – Snapshot of key stakeholders, geographic presence, formats, availability, and use-cases of AQ data across the value chain
-
Stakeholder Directory – Deep dive into each actor listed in the canvas, detailing their roles and contributions
How you can help:
The document is in ‘comment-only’ mode to allow collaborative feedback. We are looking for:
-
Tab 1: Does the framing/questions flow make sense? Any suggestions to improve structure?
-
Tab 2: Check if your organization is correctly placed in the value chain, references are accurate, and if anything is missing or misrepresented. Please add your organization in case its missing.
-
Tab 3: Verify if your organization’s work is accurately described and complete.
Your insights will help us validate and strengthen the AQ ecosystem mapping to make this into a critical information resource for the sector.
