Incorporation papers of the CAI-Asia Center were signed on 11 June 2007, establishing it as an independent legal entity. This marked an important step in the struggle for clean air in Asia. Through its new status as an independent organization, the CAI-Asia Center is able to take more proactive efforts in facilitating and strengthening the air quality management (AQM) agenda at the local, national, and regional levels. The CAI-Asia Center is based in Manila, Philippines.
