This Guide on Ambient Air Quality Legislation is designed to assist national lawmakers and policymakers in developing or improving ambient air quality legislation, with the aim of promoting robust national systems of air quality governance that prioritize public health outcomes, respecting that all humans share the same need to breathe air of adequate quality. This Guide addresses a lacuna that ex...

LEAP, the Low Emissions Analysis Platform, is a widely-used software tool for energy policy analysis and climate change mitigation assessment developed at the Stockholm Environment Institute.LEAP is an integrated, scenario-based modeling tool that can be used to track energy consumption, production and resource extraction in all sectors of an economy. It can be used to account for both energy sect...

Each Megacities Partnership is inherently unique to the city - the local policy, scientific, and cultural context, the data available, and goals vary in each Megacity and drive the direction of the Partnership.  Nonetheless, there are some basic frameworks (templates) for certain steps in the process (e.g., information collection, needs assessment, and capacity building) that are relevant to ...

These revised guidelines assist Parties, through a common approach, in meeting their obligations under the Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution and its protocols. They support the evaluation of emission reduction strategies and facilitate the technical review of air pollutant emission inventories. They allow for the effective assessment of compliance with emission obligations under...

Limiting global temperature increases to 1.5 °C while respecting ‘the right to health’ requires substantial reductions in Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (SLCPs), including methane, black carbon and hydrofluorocarbons, and co-emitted air pollutants. This study evaluates the inclusion of SLCP and air pollutant mitigation within Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) that were submitted between 2...
