Air
Introduction
Air pollution impacts our health, environment and economy. Air pollutants come from multiple sources. It is therefore paramount that we take action together — across sectors and national boundaries.
To improve air quality, UNECE member States have been working successfully to reduce air pollution in the region through the Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution. Eight protocols identify specific measures to be taken by Parties to cut their emissions. To learn more about the Convention, take the e-learning course on the Convention in English or Russian, which aims to raise awareness about air pollution, sources, effects, ways to prevent it, and the Convention as a framework for cooperation on cleaner air.
Highlights
Check out the Convention's e-learning courses on the Convention and its protocols in English and Russian and on emission inventory development under the Convention, also available in English and Russian.
For more information on the effects-related work under the Convention, check out the new website of the Working Group on Effects.
The Batumi Action for Cleaner Air is an initiative supporting countries’ efforts in improving air quality and protecting public health and ecosystems.
