Objectives:

ClairCity aims at substantially improving future air quality and carbon policies in European cities by initiating new modes of engaging citizens, stakeholders and policy makers. The latest social science thinking will be applied to the source apportion of air pollution emissions and concentrations, carbon emissions and health outcomes in order to attribute them not just by technology but by citizens’ behaviour and daily activities. Using an innovative quantification and engagement toolkit to facilitate multi-stakeholder dialogue in six European pilot cities, ClairCity will enable citizens and other stakeholders to discuss the role of air quality and carbon policies for citizens’ health, well-being and integral future quality of life. The results of this dialogue and engagement process will be evaluated and provide policy lessons on city, national and EU levels.
