The result will be directly translated in improved city policies.<\/p>\n<p>The four-year CLAiR-City project, funded through the EU\u2019s Horizon 2020 program, features 16 research partners including the pilot cities of Bristol (UK); Amsterdam (NL); Aveiro region (PT); Ljubljana (SI); Sosnowiec (PL) and the Liguria region (IT).<\/p>\n<h2>Understanding what causes air pollution<\/h2>\n<p>European and local authorities are struggling to combat air pollution, a problem responsible for the deaths of more than 400,000 people in Europe every year. Up to a third of Europeans living in cities are exposed to pollutant levels exceeding EU air quality standards, with approximately 90 per cent affected according to the World Health Organization\u2019s more stringent guidelines. The project is aimed at creating a major shift in public understanding towards the causes of poor air quality \u2013 encouraging a focus on people\u2019s everyday practices like commuting and shopping rather than technology and top-down approaches.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Enda Hayes (UWE, Bristol), Technical Director of CLAiR-City, said: \u201cAir quality management is failing in many cities around the world. This is an exciting and innovative project to try to address one of the key issues \u2013 how do you empower citizens to define their own solution?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Senior scientist Svein Knudsen from NILU adds that it will be very interesting to see how the citizens engage in investigating their own behavior and their personal impact on their city, through the app and gaming activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NILU er partner i CLAIR-City prosjektet, et konsortium av universiteter og forskningsinstitusjoner som ledes av Trinomics fra Nederland.<\/p>\n<p>Det EU-finansierte prosjektet har en ramme p&#229; 6,7 millioner euro, og skal engasjere europeiske innbyggere i seks land i &#229; forske p&#229; hvordan deres egen adferd p&#229;virker luftkvalitet, helse og klimagassutslipp. Til dette skal de bruke spesiallagde apper og spill for smarttelefoner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2987,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_searchwp_excluded":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4237","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsarchive"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nilu.gnist.dev\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4237","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nilu.gnist.dev\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nilu.gnist.dev\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nilu.gnist.dev\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nilu.gnist.dev\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4237"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/nilu.gnist.dev\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4237\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4239,"href":"https:\/\/nilu.gnist.dev\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4237\/revisions\/4239"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nilu.gnist.dev\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2987"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nilu.gnist.dev\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4237"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nilu.gnist.dev\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4237"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nilu.gnist.dev\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4237"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
