While many regions and countries are taking steps to tackle air pollution, greater global cooperation is essential to drive impactful change.
UNEP is establishing the new Global Air Quality Cooperation Network under UNEA resolution 6/10 to strengthen international collaboration on air pollution. The Network will empower governments at different levels and other key stakeholders to reduce air pollution through enhancing air quality management capacities, increasing the uptake of solutions to reduce air pollution from high-impact sectors, and improving access to finance, funding, and other forms of support, in line with UNEA resolutions 3/8 and 6/10. The Air Quality Management Exchange Platform (AQMx) will serve as its central hub for cooperation and knowledge-sharing.
