Mind the Gap — Are We Sleepwalking into an Air Quality Crisis?

Air quality is fast becoming one of the most overlooked — and misunderstood — business risks of our time. In the race to decarbonise, have we assumed it would simply follow?

In partnership with Ricardo, the Clean Air Fund, and the Air Pollution Footprint Partnership (developed by Ricardo and the Clean Air Fund), this session explores why air quality is often sidelined in climate strategies, where net zero efforts may fall short, and what it means for companies looking to reduce risk and lead responsibly.  

Hear from an expert panel as we dive into critical questions:

• Are we conflating climate action with air quality progress? 
• What’s the business cost of ignoring air pollution? 
• Are net zero initiatives always improving air quality — or sometimes making it worse? 
• Should companies go beyond compliance with air quality — and how?
