UNEP supports governments at all levels to detect and reduce harmful and high emitting pollutants from key sectors such as agriculture, waste, fossil fuels, household energy, vehicles and cooling.
UNEP provides advisory services to governments to have measures, policies, or frameworks for air pollution control implementation and enforcement.
In response to UNEA resolutions, UNEP supports governments on air quality monitoring and affordable technologies; policy support in key air-polluting sectors; strengthening regional cooperation and knowledge sharing, and the development of robust awareness-raising strategies and advocacy.
