dc.descriptionThis report outlines a strategy for guiding the operations and workplan development of the Global Environment Monitoring System for Air Programme. It considers the programme’s development since its establishment in 1970 and lessons concerning scalability and sustainability, while emphasising partnerships, innovation, and scalability. The report describes air pollution as a significant environmental risk with substantial health, economic, climate, ecosystem, food, and water security consequences. It highlights the importance of scientific knowledge, air quality data, forecasting, and information systems for effective policy interventions. The document distinguishes short-term applications, including early warning services and traffic-control measures, from long-term information needs supporting emission reduction strategies, local planning, and compliance with air quality standards.en
