There's no denying that indoor air has a profound impact on human health, well-being and even the economy. And with a recent seachange in policies and regulations around the world, it's getting the attention it deserves.

We recently partnered on a new report with the Brown University Pandemic Center and the Air Club to explore this expansion in policy at a closer glance. Drawing lessons from nearly 160 policies spanning 40 countries, the report examines the various approaches that governments are using to improve indoor air quality.

Join our webcast on September 10 to hear directly from the report's authors as well as the policy innovators behind these pioneering approaches for a timely discussion on how regulations can be adapted for other jurisdictions.
