Connections Between Air Quality And Climate Read more about Connections Between Air Quality And Climate This presentation provides an overview of the World Meteorological Organization's Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) program, which aims to advance the understanding of atmospheric composition and its interactions with the Earth system through research, observations, and the provision of services related to air quality, climate change, and societal needs.
Setting the Scene in Asia Read more about Setting the Scene in Asia This presentation provides an overview of the air quality and climate status in Asia, including the extent of air quality monitoring stations and accessibility of data, the pollutants monitored by Asian governments, the source sector contributions to ambient PM2.5, the progress in meeting WHO air quality guidelines, the health impacts of air pollution, and the co-benefits of air pollution and climate change mitigation.
Chris Malley Keywords Asia Clean Blue Skies clean air blue skies air quality air pollution climate change co-benefits environment Read more about Chris Malley Chris Malley joined SEI in September 2015 as a research associate focusing on the development of the Climate and Clean Air Coalition Supporting National Planning (CCAC SNAP) toolkit. The CCAC SNAP toolkit aims to demonstrate the socio-economic benefits achievable through national emission reductions of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs). Chris’s work involves the formulation of emission inventories, future scenarios, cost-benefit analysis, and training of toolkit users.
Jessica Slater Keywords Asia Clean Blue Skies clean air blue skies air quality air pollution climate change co-benefits environment Read more about Jessica Slater Dr. Jessica Slater is a researcher in the Pollution Management Research Group at IIASA. Her research focuses on different ways of mitigating air pollution and the multiple co-benefits which could result from such policies including climate change and sustainable development goals. Her research interests include quantifying the health impacts of various scenarios and pathways, including developing and improving methodologies in the GAINS model where there is limited available data, for example in cities in low- or middle-income countries where air pollution can be a major health burden.
