APCAP

The APCAP Joint Forum has become the key venue in the Asia Pacific for sharing latest policy-relevant scientific knowledge, and information on the state of national and international efforts on air quality. The forum also aims to identify priority air quality issues, promote regional approaches to combat the priority issues where appropriate and identify mechanisms to help address air pollution challenges of the region... Facilitating air quality monitoring, open data sharing, and harnessing digital technologies to strengthen data for clean air action. While there have been improvements, air quality data remains a challenge in developing Asia. According to the World Health Organization, over 6,000 cities in 117 now monitor air quality - a 6-fold increase since 2011. But access and availability of air quality data continues to be a challenge for low- and middle-income countries.
