As part of Climate Week at Columbia Engineering, we invite you to a special event on data science and technology for clean air and sustainable energy in cities.
Air pollution is a global public health crisis, causing more than 8 million premature deaths annually. The environmental damage of air pollution must be reversed hand in hand with addressing the climate challenge. Sensing, data science, and sustainable energy technology all help remove barriers towards progress towards cleaner air and sustainable climate. We will highlight creative and innovative work at the interface of environmental science, engineering, public health, data science, economics, policy, and community engagement.
