Ahead of UN Climate Week, Coffee with Ken sits down with Rachel Hodgdon, President & CEO of the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI), to discuss the launch of the Global Commission on Healthy Indoor Air—a multi-year, multi-country effort to make clean indoor air a public-health priority.

They explore why indoor air quality is finally front and center, how a coalition of 100+ commissioners from 30 countries came together, and what it will take—policy, tech, finance, and awareness—to move from research to action. Rachel highlights real-world progress, from Asia’s live IAQ dashboards to building-level automation, and previews the roadmap for a Global Framework for Action and country-level blueprints targeted for 2026.
