BAQ now on its 4th straight year

The largest conference this year on air quality management in Asia will be held in Agra, India from December 6 to 8, 2004. For four consecutive years, the Better Air Quality (BAQ) workshops have given hundreds of policymakers from across the region the opportunity to explore new ways to reduce air pollution in their respective cities and countries. This year's event is hosted by India's Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) and the Clean Air Initiative for Asian Cities (CAI-Asia).

Message from the Minister of Environment and Forests, India

Through presentations and focused discussions, BAQ 2004 will contribute to

  • improving the science on which air quality management in Asia is based
  • strengthening the governance structure for urban air quality management in Asia
  • developing stronger stakeholder networks on air quality management in Asia, that involve local and national governments, civil society, academe, private sector, and development agencies
  • clarifying the linkage between urban air quality management and long-range transport of air pollutants in Asia and climate change
