Guidance Framework for Better Air Quality in Asian Cities - Air Quality Monitoring and Ambient Air Quality Standards

The Guidance Framework is a voluntary and non-binding guidance document developed as an outcome of the biennial Governmental Meetings on Urban Air Quality in Asia, co-organized by Clean Air Asia and United Nations Environment Programme Regional Office for Asia Pacific (UNEP ROAP). It is an outcome of an extensive development process, which began in 2006 when the Long Term Vision for Urban Air Quality in Asia (LTV) was envisioned by representatives of environment ministries in the region. The LTV describes the desired state of urban air quality in Asian cities by 2030; the Guidance Framework serves as a guide for cities and countries to achieve this vision.
