Event Date
ASIC Pakistan Mitigation Series
The 2025 Air Sensors International Conference Pakistan - Mitigation Series, organized by the UC Davis Air Quality Research Center and Fair Finance Pakistan, will be held in Islamabad from December 8-11, 2025. This edition focuses on the role of business and finance in driving air quality solutions—especially for communities most vulnerable to polluted air.
The conference brings together pioneering business leaders, development banks, and financial institutions advancing climate tech, sustainable manufacturing, and environmental transparency. By convening them alongside policymakers, academia, civil society, and communities, the Mitigation Series aims to build a shared roadmap for embedding air-quality action within net-zero and development strategies.
This series will spotlight targeted solutions to reduce the environmental impact of Pakistan’s economic sector, with an emphasis on technology deployment across 11 high-emission sectors and industrial-urban hotspots. These areas emit high levels of particulate matter and short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) such as black carbon and methane, which pose serious health risks and accelerate near-term climate warming. By addressing SLCPs alongside CO₂, the series promotes solutions that deliver immediate health benefits, slow climate change, and support long-term air quality and decarbonization goals.
ASIC Pakistan will showcase next-generation air sensors and industrial emissions-control technologies that reduce carbon emissions and capture pollutants at the source, enabling cleaner production in heavy-emitting industries. The conference envisions a financial ecosystem where businesses and institutions actively address their environmental impacts, risks, and opportunities—unlocking public health and sustainable development benefits.
This Mitigation Series marks the first pilot focused on mitigation in countries where air pollution is the leading environmental and public health threat. It leverages data-driven solutions to drive policy reform, innovative finance, and regional collaboration around breakthrough technologies—delivering triple wins: fewer premature deaths, better health outcomes, and progress on climate and economic goals.
Uniting advanced research with policy leadership, it pioneers breakthrough approaches that tackle urgent climate and pollution challenges head-on.
