What is CitiesACT?

CitiesACT is an online portal that features data and information on Air Quality, Climate Change & Energy, and Transport. Since measures to address one problem may have positive benefits in other areas, the CitiesACT portal aims to provide a more integrated perspective for policy makers by using this “co-benefits” approach.

• Country & City profiles – quick snapshot of general demographics, transport statistics, air quality levels, as well as prevailing standards for vehicle emissions, fuels, and ambient air.


• Policies – collection of government actions and legislation at the national and city level to reduce air pollution, mitigate climate change, or promote sustainable transport.


• Organizations – list of organizations working in Asia that are involved in air quality-related activities.


• Projects & Programs – growing list of air quality-related project and programs in Asia.


• Training Courses – regular training courses on air quality and sustainable transport being delivered for stakeholders in the Asian region.

	The Clean Air Initiative for Asian Cities promotes and demonstrates innovative ways to improve the air quality in Asian cities through partnerships and sharing experiences.
	GAPF brings together regional networks, international organizations and other stakeholders to develop effective policies and programmes to protect public health and the environment from the harmful effects of atmospheric pollution.
