The GTI Observatory Report is a comprehensive work that looks at the main challenges faced by islands along their decarbonization path, analysing sector by sector the problems with a focus on technology, policy, and finance. With the involvement of the Observatory members and partners, it identifies the most innovative and sustainable solutions and presents the latest good practices. This month, we focus on Air Quality. This is the last chapter of the first edition of the Report, which also includes Water, Energy, Transportation, Agriculture, Sustainable Tourism, and Waste. Become a member to access the full report, learn more about challenges and opportunities for islands’ sustainability and self-sufficiency, and disseminate your case studies and good practices.
Islands are not immune to the impacts of pollution on air quality and public health, especially near ports and fossil fuel-based power plants. Developing sound monitoring frameworks coupled with the implementation of air purification technologies is the starting point for fostering air quality on islands.

In this regard, islands face challenges in pollution control, with the need for sustainable mobility solutions and electrification through renewable energy adoption, supported by tailored regulatory frameworks. The GTI Observatory Report presents some best practices and innovative solutions to purify both indoor and outdoor air with applications in hospitals, harbours, airports, and schools for environmental preservation, reducing reliance on chemical disinfectants.
