Identify game changers and verify impact June 21-23, 2023, Amsterdam, The Netherlands Non-CO2 greenhouse gases include many substances, such as methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), fluorocarbons (CFCs, HFCs, SF6, etc), black carbon, aerosols, and tropospheric ozone (O3). These contribute significantly to climate forcing. Reducing non-CO2 greenhouse gas emissions is often more cost-effective than reducing CO2 emissions. Read more. Registration for NCGG9, June…
The UNECE Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (the Air Convention), although not yet global, covers as many as 56 Northern hemisphere countries. They are grouped in four subregions: Western and Central Europe (WCE), South-eastern Europe (SEE), North America and so called EECCA countries formed after the fall of the Soviet Union.

Researchers calculated that 74 metric tons of microplastics are dropping out of the atmosphere onto the city annually, the equivalent of more than 3 million plastic bottles falling from the sky. Read more
This year’s report lays out the scale of the challenge of reducing air pollution, the substantial progress that has been made and highlights achievable solutions. Chief Medical Officer’s annual report 2022: air pollution
Seventy years ago, London was brought to a halt by a thick smog that blanketed the city. It is difficult to imagine how it must have felt to be indoors with fog pressed against the windows. People who ventured outside could not see their feet and many got lost in their own neighbourhoods. Read more
