Job description
The ecosystem of organizations working on air quality in India is growing each year. However, one key challenge is that who all are working on the issue and the nature of efforts underway is unclear. The access to knowledge and resources also remains highly asymmetric. The scale, complexity and urgency of solving the air pollution crisis requires greater knowledge sharing, collaboration, alignment and building off each other’s work. There is also a need to ensure more diversity in the voices that represent the issue and action against it. In addition, there is also a need to showcase scalable proven ideas, share latest research and support hundreds of new organizations to join the challenge. This context provides an opportunity to create a community facing digital resource portal that can act as a place to aggregate information, and initiatives taking place across the country.

About the organisation
Sensing Local is an urban Living Lab in Bengaluru. We work towards tackling environmental challenges in Indian cities through collaboration, participatory planning approaches and building shared knowledge. We are also deeply interested in legibility of cities and how maps, information and way-finding systems impact the way people discover, engage and associate with spaces. This affects the visual identity, our sense of belonging, efforts of conservation, and even planning efforts.
