The CLEAN-Air Forum is an annual convening for the communities of practice in Africa and serves as a platform for knowledge sharing, collaborations, and multi-regional partnerships for tackling air pollution in African cities.

This year’s forum marks the third successive edition following successful convenings in Kampala, Uganda (2023) and Lagos, Nigeria (2024). Building on the incremental success of the 2024 Lagos forum, which brought together over 80 policymakers and 200 global experts from 34 countries, this year’s forum is themed “Partnerships for Clean Air Solutions” and advances the Lagos commitments.
