BACKGROUND

Clean Air Asia continues to build the capacity of Asian governments on air quality management and emissions reduction through a Community of Practice (CoP) and the Guidance Framework Towards Clean Air and Clean Energy in Asia. The session aims to facilitate sharing of progress on strengthening and implementing emission standards of key countries in the region. It also aims to foster discussions on country-specific needs for building technical and institutional capacity of governments for the enforcement of emission standards for CFPs and other heavy polluting industries. Government policy mechanisms for achieving NDC targets and low-carbon sustainable development will also be discussed, highlighting action points and co-learning opportunities in the region.

OBJECTIVE

The session aims to highlight the activities, progress, and achievements of key Asian governments in reducing emissions from coal and other heavy industries. Specific next steps in achieving identified goals for emissions reduction will be discussed in a co learning session. Key areas will be identified for policy guidance and technical assistance, drawing insights from international experience and providing recommendations for the development and enforcement of stringent emission standards. Concrete actions governing the adoption of best practice policies, continuous knowledge base updating, and ensuring effective implementation of standards and pollution reduction measures will be discussed.
