Policy Development Meeting for the Middle East and North Africa

This meeting was hosted jointly by the Partnership for Clean Fuels and Vehicles and the Asian Clean Fuels Association . The gathering learnt from the pooled experiences of countries in the region and international experts and arrived at possible national plans of action to alleviate the growing scale of urban air pollution in Arab cities caused by vehicles, some of which are amongst the worst in the world. UNEP offices in Bahrain, Nairobi and Cairo were instrumental to the organisation of this meeting, this conference is seen as a first step of many steps to come in a process to bring about better air quality for the Arab states.
