As carbon-reduction measures are expected to be officially enforced to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, governments and institutions look for opportunities for “co-benefits” – policies that have multiple benefits for society. One such example is how the implementation of carbon-reduction measures can also positively impact air quality.
At this event, the co-benefits of integrated air quality and climate change management in the Republic of Korea will be discussed. Specifically, the details of research and action plans for the metropolitan area of Korea will be shared, including the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) plans to reanalyse the effects of air quality management policies in the area. The findings from this research will go on to inform other stakeholders and sectors internationally.
“Integrated analysis and implications of fine dust and climate change policy” – Dr. Junghun Woo, Konkuk University
“International sharing of the UNEP metropolitan air management case analysis and implementation experience” – Johan Kuylenstierna, SEI
