UAE National Air Emissions Inventory Project – Final Results

United Arab Emirates Ministry of Climate Change & Environment
This report presents the results from Phase II of the Air Emissions Inventory Project. It is the first national air pollutant emission inventory carried out for the whole country. The emissions inventory shows that emissions from the stationary energy and transport sectors dominate the emission sources. For particulate matter, the dominant source is industrial processes and product use (IPPU). Although the agriculture and waste sectors have a minor contribution to the country’s overall emissions, their role is more significant in terms of greenhouse gas emissions. However, of particular note are the estimated high non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) emissions from municipal solid waste disposal on land.

Air Pollution in Asia and the Pacific: Science-based solutions

United Nations Environment Programme (UN Environment), Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC), Asia Pacific Clean Air Partnership
This report identifies 25 clean air measures that can positively impact human health, crop yields, climate change, and socio-economic development as well as contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Implementing these measures could help 1 billion people breathe cleaner air by 2030 and reduce global warming by a third of a degree Celsius by 2050.
