In June 2014 the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) adopted resolution 1/7 Strengthening the Role of the United Nations Environment in Promoting Air Quality. As requested in paragraphs 4 and 7 of the resolution, which requested United Nations Environment to develop a report detailing actions taken by governments to promote air quality, this report details some of the major actions being undertaken by governments in the Caribbean to improve air quality.
This report summarises ten actions being undertaken in the sub‐region to improve air quality. In selecting these ten actions, consideration was given to their replicability, global appropriateness to address particular air pollution challenges and potential impact. For more details, please refer to the methodology document.
