dc.descriptionThis report reviews the status of the atmosphere and air pollution in Africa in the context of preparations for the 14th session of the Commission on Sustainable Development, which focuses partly on these issues. It describes predominant pollutant sources across countries and sub-regions, including industrial activities, transport, biomass and savanna fires, domestic fuel use, and waste burning, and outlines associated impacts on human health, ecosystems, materials, infrastructure, climate change, and biodiversity. It examines activities undertaken by stakeholders to reduce emissions and assesses progress against commitments and targets referenced from Agenda 21 and related implementation frameworks. It also identifies constraints, noting that air-pollution data and intervention records are often scarce, uneven, or outdated.en
