About ARC_AIR African Research Center on Air Quality and Climate
The African Research Center on Air Quality and Climate (ARC_AIR) is a research unit within UM6P dedicated to advancing scientific understanding and innovative solutions in the fields of air quality, atmospheric chemistry, and climate. ARC_AIR's mission is to support sustainable development in Africa through high-impact research, capacity building, and technology transfer. The center brings together a multidisciplinary team of researchers, engineers, and students working on addressing environmental challenges such as industrial emissions, urban pollution, and climate change impacts.
ARC_AIR also collaborates closely with national and international partners to strengthen Africa's contribution to global atmospheric science and to develop tools and strategies that guide evidence-based policymaking.
