At World Emission Network (WEN), we believe in the power of collaboration and shared knowledge to advance scientific research and policy solutions. Many of these publications were developed in partnership with academic institutions, policymakers, and global research teams, reflecting a commitment to data-driven sustainability and climate action.
This collection represents our founder’s contributions to air pollution science, emissions inventory development, climate resilience, and sustainable urban planning—spanning past collaborations and ongoing research at WEN.
