Southern Africa Sub-regional Policy Dialogue on Air Pollution
The Policy Session (5-6 March) is follow-up to the regional conference on Better Air Quality in sub-Saharan African Cities (BAQ-SSA) that was held in 2006 in Nairobi, Kenya where Ministers recommended a sub-regional approach to discussions on air pollution in Africa. The meeting will also follow up on APINA's (Air Pollution Information Network for Africa) work in the sub-region. The Ministerial Session (7 March) will discuss and adopt a Policy Framework on Air pollution for the sub-region that will be developed during the Policy Session. The policy framework will set specific targets and timeframes to address air pollution in the following key areas: transport, industry and mining, waste management, open burning (fires) and indoor air pollution. Other focus areas include trans-boundary pollution, air quality monitoring and public outreach.
The meeting is jointly organized by UNEP, APINA and Stockholm Environment Institute and the USEPA.
