Duties and Responsibilities The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the leading global environmental authority that sets the global environmental agenda, promotes the coherent implementation of the environmental dimension of sustainable development within the United Nations system and serves as an authoritative advocate for the global environment.

It assists countries of the region pursue sustainability, particularly in their implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development including technical expertise, facilitating access to finance, undertaking cutting-edge science-policy assessments, offering advisory services and strengthening laws, policies, management and governance.

The first United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) resolution on air quality adopted in 2014 called on UNEP to undertake assessments focused on identifying gaps to address air pollution, including monitoring and control, opportunities for cooperation, and mitigation opportunities. This was reinforced by UNEA resolution 3/8 on ‘Preventing and reducing air pollution to improve air quality globally’ which stressed the need for further sharing of existing knowledge on science, technology, policy, measures, and best practices related to addressing air pollution.

The Project “Beating Air Pollution in Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi (SIG) through Evidence-Based Solutions” aims to assess the air pollution reduction interventions in SIG by reviewing the progress in air quality action and improvement at the national and local level from 2005 to 2040 to (1) increase understanding and awareness on the status of air pollution issue, including sources of air pollution, and on the actions being taken by relevant stakeholders to address this issue; (2) improve future policy action to reduce air pollution with better understanding of the effectiveness of policies and measures in place; and (3) identify good practices to inspire other cities and countries to beat air pollution.
