Clean Air for Climate-Resilient Development: From Policy to Implementation

About this event

Air pollution is a cross-cutting environmental, health and development challenge linked to transport, industry, energy, buildings, waste and urban growth. Addressing it requires more than monitoring: effective air-quality management combines strong policy and regulatory frameworks, reliable data, cleaner technologies, sector-specific emission-reduction measures, urban planning, public information and sustained investment. The proposed event will bring together government representatives, and international and technical partners to discuss integrated approaches to improving air quality. The discussion will cover air-quality governance and standards, emissions inventories and monitoring, cleaner transport and industrial measures, energy efficiency and fuel quality, urban and land-use planning, public health considerations, financing and technology, and mechanisms for regional and international cooperation. The session will also provide an opportunity to present Azerbaijan's evolving air-quality policy framework and planned measures, while drawing on international experience to identify practical pathways for implementation and stronger cooperation.
