Dear colleagues
As part of CAI-Asia's mission to promote better air quality and livable
cities, CAI-Asia conducted an annual review of main events relevant to air
quality, climate change and transport in Asia. The review, which started on
2008 and initially focused on sustainable transport, has now evolved to
include air quality and climate events. It is an opportunity to look back
and understand where Asia focused in the past year and foresee emerging
trends in Asia in the coming years.
*The main highlights for 2011 are:*
- Increasing public demand for improved air quality monitoring and
reporting
- Transition from science to policy action regarding black carbon and
short-lived climate forcers (SLCF)
- Increased awareness on green freight and logistics
- Successes on clean fuels and vehicles, particularly in Vietnam and Sri
Lanka
- Improved understanding of walkability issues
- Asian cities trying a mix of transport demand management measures to
address congestion, pollution
