Objectives | National or subnational governments can commit to achieving air quality that is safe for their citizens, and to align their climate change and air pollution policies, by 2030. |
Activities | Governments would meet this commitment through specifically committing to, as appropriate:
1) Implementing air quality and climate change policies that will achieve the WHO Ambient Air Quality Guideline values. 2) Implementing e-mobility and sustainable mobility policies and actions with the aim of making a decisive impact on road transport emissions. 3) Assessing the number of lives that are saved, the health gains in children and other vulnerable groups, and the avoided financial costs to health systems, that result from implementing their policies. 4) Tracking progress, sharing experience and best practice through an international network supported by the UN system. |
