The Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES), serving as the secretariat of the ACP, joined the Better Air Quality (BAQ) Conference 2014 from 19-21 November 2014 in Colombo, Sri Lanka Colombo. Clean Air Asia convenes the BAQ once every two years, bringing together the world’s leading experts on air quality in Asia.

Prior to the formal start of the BAQ, IGES presented on activities of the ACP during a pre-event “Combined Meeting of the Consultation Meeting for the Joint Forum on Clean Air in Asia and the Pacific and the Fifth Governmental Meeting on Urban Air Quality in Asia.”

During the main BAQ2014 conference, IGES researchers presented research highlighting the importance of tailoring policies on short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) to national contexts.
