Wed 31 Aug, 9:00- 10:30
The Cities Clean Air Partnership (CCAP) is an initiative that seeks to address the challenges that cities face in improving air quality by making a clear business case that links air quality improvements to cities’ economic and quality-of-life decisions. The core of the initiative is the development of a certification scheme that will:
recognize actions that cities take to address air quality,
increase opportunities for cities to learn from each other and collectively address issues, and
make it easier to establish new collaborations with public and private stakeholders.

Chair: Frank Murray, Murdoch University
Venue: Room 101, 1F Convention Hall, BEXCO
Fri 2 Sep, 9:00- 10:30
Most nations in the Asia-Pacific region have implemented a variety of actions to address air pollution. Some have been successful and some less so. The barriers to effective implementation are challenging but many countries have found ways to overcome them. However, there are limited opportunities to share lessons learned for the benefit of others in the region. This session aims to provide a platform to share experiences on the implementation of actions to prevent air pollution in the Asia-Pacific region. The format will be short presentations and discussion.
