Projects
Our projects aim to increase awareness and education around air pollution, introduce policy and infrastructural change, and propel London forward as an example of excellence.
Our projects deliver outcomes across 4 key areas:
Environment
Business & Research
Re-wilding & Green Walls
We help London schools, businesses, and estates in high-pollution areas install living green walls that block roadside air pollution, boost biodiversity, and create healthier, more calming spaces for students to thrive. Our re-wilding projects and green walls are a core element of our corporate volunteering programme, offering hands-on volunteering days which connect teams to visible, lasting impact in their local community.
Commercial Cooking – UCL Research
This project addresses the significant but often overlooked impact of commercial cooking on local air quality. Conducted in collaboration with local restaurants and supported by University College London (UCL), the research examines how awareness of pollution data influences businesses’ willingness to improve ventilation systems and adopt cleaner cooking practices.
Raising Awareness – UCL Research
In partnership with University College London (UCL) and supported by the London Boroughs of Camden and Islington, this research investigates whether raising awareness about the harmful effects of air pollution on newborns and young children can influence behavioral change among parents, carers, and nursery workers.
AirScape
Access to reliable, real-time air quality data is at the heart of creating cleaner, healthier communities. That’s why we partnered with AirScape and Camden Council to install 229 cutting-edge air quality sensors across the borough — one of the densest monitoring networks of its kind.
Assemblies & Workshops
Our fun, interactive assemblies teach primary school pupils where air pollution comes from and how to protect themselves. Our hand-on workshops, designed for older students, blend science, tech, and activism. We spark curiosity, build knowledge, and empower the next generation to take action for cleaner, healthier air.
Green Futures Events
Connecting young people with real, green careers—so they can shape the world they’ll inherit. Green Futures Events & Career Fairs spotlight green skills, which are essential for achieving Net Zero, but often missing from mainstream education.
Community Air Pollution Sensor (CAPS) Project
The Community Air Pollution Sensor (CAPS) Project is a series of experiential workshops for students with the mission of turning apathy into action, empowering communities to tackle issues around their local environments through citizen science and collective action.
Charging points for taxi drivers
In October 2020, we joined forces with the on-street charging operator Ubitricity and London’s leading private-hire rental fleet Otto Car to create a new EV Charger Requested Tool. It allowed PCO drivers with little to no local charging coverage to request an installation of an on-street charger in their area. This data would be passed to the council to help make better decision as to where new chargers should be installed.
A Discussion of Sustainability, Transport, and Air Quality
This report sets out the results of a community survey that Camden Clean Air created in order to gain a better understanding of how to enable the shift away from privately owned cars in Camden. We wanted to understand how we could achieve behaviour change so we ran a survey and community workshop to listen to the voices of those living and working in Camden.
