Innovation Technologies for Air Quality Management

Sean Wihera of Clarity Movement discussed their organization’s experiences on applications of new low-cost air quality management technologies that enable advanced performance-based allocations for smaller or highly localized clean air investments. Specifically, he discussed how real-time emissions data can be used to better calculate the public health benefits and corresponding economic benefits of city/ neighborhood-scale investments, such as zero emission public transportation.

R&D and Innovative Technologies in Wastewater Treatment

Water demand is projected to double globally by 2060. While demand management remains a key approach to ensure water sustainability, research and development (R&D) has also been working on securing a robust, sustainable, affordable and reliable water supply. R&D efforts are geared towards increasing water resources, protecting water quality and security, and reducing production cost.
