[sustran] 2005 Compendium of Air Quality Programs and Projects in Asia: Request for Information

[mrco at adb.org]

Dear all, 

The CAI-Asia Secretariat is in the process of updating the first draft of 
the "Compendium of Air Quality Programs and Projects in Asia"  (see http://www.cleanairnet.org/caiasia/1412/article-58567.html), which was presented at the First Coordination Meeting of Regional Air 
Quality Management Programs and Initiatives in Asia in Bangkok, June 2004. 
The compendium is currently the only document and on-line resource that 
gives a comprehensive overview of air quality related projects and 
programs in Asia undertaken by regional organizations, programs and 
initiatives. 

In acknowledgement of its usefulness and relevance to the clean air 
community in Asia, the CAI-Asia Secretariat has decided to update the 
compendium and expand its coverage to also cover programs and projects 
undertaken by national and local organizations, which can directly or 
indirectly reduce local air pollution concentrations in Asian mega-cities. 
The 2005 version of the compendium will also feature programs and projects 
that promote co-benefits of local air pollution and climate change 
mitigation. Compared to the 2004 version sustainable mobility programs and 
projects will be more clearly covered and labeled.   

Updating of a regional resource like the compendium can only be 
successfully done in cooperation with all regional, national and local 
organizations undertaking AQM related programs and projects. We encourage 
all regional, national, and/or local organizations, especially the 
CAI-Asia members to actively participate in this activity as this will 
serve as another step towards strengthened coordination and cooperation on 
AQM efforts in Asia. 

For those organizations/ projects which are included in the 2004 version, 
the CAI-Asia secretariat will send a request for validation of the 2004 
Compendium entries.   

We would like to request your assistance in identifying new programs and 
projects, which were NOT included in the 2004 Compendium. Attached are 
templates for the organizational profile and projects profile. 

Please fill these out and send the accomplished forms, one per project and 
send it by email to Herbert Fabian (hfabian at adb.org).  It would be nice if 
we could receive additional new project profiles before May 30. This will 
enable us to include them in the updated 2005 Compendium which will be 
presented early July at the Second Regional Coordination Meeting of Air 
Quality Programs and Initiatives.
