Methods & limitations

What the evidence can tell us.

This is a curated research snapshot, not a census of clean-air activity or a live monitoring system. Records are linked to their source, observation period, geography and limitations.

How are sources selected?

We prioritize primary reports, official datasets and documented project case studies. The supplied ADB report, CPI report, finance workbook and intervention taxonomy form the starting set. WHO city observations add a separate air-quality context. Planning documents inform the editorial brief but do not establish outcomes.

What does the finance figure mean?

The CPI workbook contains 247 records totaling USD 8.88 billion in tracked global super pollutant abatement finance for 2023. The report rounds this to USD 9 billion. Flows are not total investment needs, local allocations, or money committed to IIL. Pollutant benefits can overlap and must not be added as exclusive totals.

Can cities be ranked?

No. WHO observations differ in years, station coverage and monitoring methods. The Observatory defaults to a common observation year and keeps missing measures empty. City comparisons describe published observations, not a city ranking or an estimate of intervention impact.

How precise are map locations?

Coordinates identify representative administrative locations where project-level coordinates are unavailable. They are labeled in initiative details. Points do not mark monitoring stations or surveyed infrastructure.

What do network links mean?

Solid links represent relationships explicitly described by the cited source. Dashed links describe proposed connections for discussion. An action plan mentioning an institution does not by itself establish an IIL partnership.

What is not measured?

The Vidvapath case study documents water infrastructure and community service. It does not establish avoided burning, PM2.5 reductions, emissions savings or a causal relationship between water supply and cleaner air. Those claims require separate measurement.

How are files and updates handled?

Document parsing happens during dataset preparation. The browser reads static snapshots. Refreshes require source review, rebuilding the snapshots and running the evidence checks. Original publication dates and observation years remain visible.
