International Workshop "How Can Asia Manage Air Pollution and Climate Change? From Understanding Impacts to Implementing Solutions" to be held on 19 February in Tokyo
Recent research, including a high profile UN report, has shown that the multiple benefits of managing air pollution and climate change could improve health and well-being in Asia. However there is still a gap between research that focuses on understanding air pollution and climate change impacts, and experiences with implementing solutions to these problems. This workshop will bring together an internationally recognised set of experts from Japan, China, Korea and Europe to discuss how Asia can close this gap.

Commentary "Time to Translate Research Findings on Global Warming of 1.5 °C into Policy"
The IPCC’s 1.5°C Special Report played a significant role at COP24, which focused on how to operationalise the Paris Agreement and adopt rules to achieve its commitments. The report, with clear scientific findings on the urgent need to further limit global warming, provided potential pathways to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. While most Parties embraced the report and pushed for increased ambition, political consensus on its official recognition proved unattainable. This commentary urges all Parties not to delay in taking action towards transition to a net-zero emission society, and take heed of the IPCC’s recommendations, as they provide useful reference for domestic policy-making and actions by businesses and individuals.
