Latest Development and Pathway towards Regional Database

This is the recording of the webinar titled “Emission Inventory for Air Quality Management: Latest Development and Pathway towards Regional Database.” The webinar aimed to enhance discussions on the development of emission inventories (EI), which serve as the foundation for air quality assessment, modeling, and policy-making in addressing transboundary air pollution. Emission inventories are often incomplete, outdated, or inconsistent across sectors and countries. Strengthening their development is therefore essential for accurate source identification, improved assessment of transboundary impacts, and the availability of reliable data for regional cooperation in addressing air pollution challenges. The webinar reviewed the current status and ongoing initiatives in South Asia, while facilitating knowledge sharing from experts working in the field and exploring pathways towards establishing a regional emission inventory database for the Malé Declaration region.
