Air Quality Management Exchange Platform

Air Quality Management Exchange Platform

It is a platform that provides the latest air quality management guidance and tools proposed to meet WHO Air Quality Guidelines interim targets.
It was developed in response to a resolution passed at this year’s United Nations Environment Assembly to increase regional cooperation and action on improving air quality globally.
Significance of the platform
- It will help to address air quality management capacity gaps, notably with curated guidance across key themes, including on how to go about air quality monitoring, inventory development, and health impact assessments.
- It will allow decision makers to see a more complete picture of air pollution’s impact and leading to policies that accurately reflect public health needs on a global scale.
- The platform will expand to allow regional and sub-regional communities to exchange knowledge about air quality management best practices.
