The Clean Air Initiative for Asian Cities promotes reductions in air pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions from transport, energy and other sectors through translating knowledge to policy and action
CAI-Asia began as a multi-stakeholder initiative by ADB, World Bank and USAID
The CAI-Asia Center was incorporated in 2007 as a non-stock, non-profit corporation in the Philippines
The CAI-Asia Partnership has 170 organizational members and 8 Country Networks in Asia

Clean Air Scorecard
• Air Pollution and Health Index – rating air pollution levels of cities against WHO guideline values and interim targets
• Capacity Index – rating a city’s capacity to determine sources, levels and impacts and capacity to address air pollution and GHG emissions
• Policies and Actions Index – rating the presence and enforcement of policies and actions to address emissions from relevant sources (mobile, stationary, area and trans-boundary)

Walkability surveys
• Walkability surveys assess the quality of pedestrian infrastructure and supporting policies:– Field Walkability Survey: state of the pedestrian facilities– Pedestrian Interview Survey: pedestrian needs and
preferences– Government/Stakeholder Survey: the policies, roles and
responsibilities of government and stakeholders

Clean Fleet Management Toolkit
Developed by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and TNT in 2006. Field tested by TNT Turkey and humanitarian aid fleets
The toolkit contains a number of tools that help fleet managers to evaluate the impacts of their fleets on the environment and human health, and with minimal information and inputs, develop practical strategies and scenarios for corrective and cost-effective action
Activities in Asia:•Asia launch at BAQ 2008•Training in Philippines•Case studies with Philippines companies
