Shayaan Seraj, convenor of the park along with Nezayra and Sterk Boudewijn, founder of Smart Air participated in the panel discussion.
"Dhaka currently ranks as one of the most polluted cities in the world and battles with Delhi for the top spot. With this in mind, a multi-dimensional strategy is required to combat this issue and must include representatives from government, academia, the private sector and local communities. GS is trying to bring the different partners together, and raise awareness with the installed pollution sensor in the park," said Shayaan Seraj.
