There is still room to incorporate air pollution more concretely and systematically into the SDG implementation process, especially at the regional, national and local levels. Download Policy Brief "SDGs, DRR and CCA: Potential for Strengthening Inter-linkages" This policy brief identifies approaches that could help achieve better synergies in implementing three major global frameworks dedicated to sustainable development (SD), disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) on the ground via programmatic integration, collaboration, capacity and innovation.
