AirGradient community experience
Sustenta Honduras
A youth-led initiative connecting air pollution, climate resilience, and environmental justice through open monitoring, workshops, and community support.
Honduras, Latin America
The community behind the measurements.
Sustenta Honduras empowers young people to lead climate action and sustainable development through practical community projects. The team travelled to Lamani to install two donated monitors as part of its Aire Limpio Honduras project.
Communities need practical ways to understand local air pollution as part of wider climate resilience and environmental justice work.
What the work made possible
Tools, local knowledge, and a reason to act.
The project shows how small deployments can become broader community infrastructure when paired with youth leadership and ongoing support.
Tools and local skills
The Aire Limpio Honduras project began with monitor installations in Lamani, a small rural town, with more installations planned across the country.
Understanding the evidence
The organisation helps young volunteers move from caring about environmental issues to knowing where to start and how to act locally.
Putting knowledge to use
Community workshops and open helplines help residents understand the readings and continue using the data after installation.
