SETI Energy

Webinar highlighted global challenges at the intersection of waste, energy, gender, and health The webinar Burning Questions: Gender, Health,

Explore the intersection between energy poverty, failed waste management, and gender inequality, as well as practical pathways toward inclusive solutions🌿

What can be done? Authors suggest a shift in focus
1️⃣ Distribute sensors in underserved areas (especially in the Global South)
2️⃣ Engage policymakers from the beginning of the projects
3/n

Authors reviewed 131 community air science studies and found that 90% of the studies focus on testing the technology (low-cost sensors) rather than using the data for policy change, only 10% focused on closing that gap 2/n
