Citizen sensing, the practice in which grassroots actors employ sensor technology to monitor the environment, is gaining prominence in the realm of environmental risk governance. This groundbreaking book delves into the potential of citizen sensing to actively shape policy responses implemented by competent institutions, thereby influencing the governance of environmental risks to public health.
Anna Berti Suman adopts a distinctive approach that blends risk, technology, grassroots initiatives, and distrust, providing a comprehensive analysis of factors contributing to the policy adoption of community-led citizen sensing. Through her fieldwork, she incorporates theoretical reflections and ethnography into a mixed-methods approach, allowing the voices of citizen sensing participants to take center stage.

Academics specializing in environmental law and risk governance will find this book both intriguing and timely. Additionally, policy-makers and practitioners will benefit from its practical applications, as well as citizen sensing communities seeking to enhance the influence of their monitoring practices.
