Community Engagement: Through webinars, trainings, speaking engagements, conference attendance, one-on-one meetings, impact stories and more, we introduced potential new users to the OpenAQ data platform and supported existing data practitioners. Through our Clean Air Community Ambassador program, we provided professional leadership training to 10 emerging air quality leaders from the world's most polluted regions. We connected air quality data producers and users across sectors and geographies to support an international learning environment. These and other outreach activities have resulted in greater use of the platform for air quality analysis and clean air advocacy.
