The 57th Annual Conference of the National Association for Clean Air brings together researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and industry leaders to engage with one of the most pressing challenges of our time: achieving clean air for all. Under the theme Clean Air, Shared Futures: Local to Global Partnerships for a Healthier Atmosphere, the conference emphasises the interconnected nature of air quality challenges and the need for collaborative, multi-scale responses.

Hosted in Mpumalanga, a region central to South Africa’s energy and industrial landscape, the conference provides a timely platform to reflect on both local realities and global commitments. It will showcase cutting-edge research, practical interventions, and policy developments, while fostering dialogue across sectors and disciplines.

By strengthening partnerships, from community-level initiatives to international collaborations, the conference aims to advance actionable solutions that improve air quality, protect health, and support a just and sustainable transition.
