This project was implemented as a partnership between the Clean Air Task Force and Hill Consulting, under the leadership of the Clean Air Institute. The initiative aimed to place the effective management of tropospheric ozone on the international political agenda, with the goal of maximizing the synergistic benefits for global health, air quality, climate, and agriculture.

​

Key project goals:

​

• Developed policy reports that made the case for adopting measures to address tropospheric ozone to ensure rapid climate change mitigation.

• Generated interest and awareness among key stakeholders and global media about tropospheric ozone to promote its effective management.

• Monitored the outcomes of COP29 and drafted the 2025–2028 Plan to tackle this super-pollutant.

​​

An international advisory group of experts was also formed to provide guidance, validate the reports, and facilitate connections with key stakeholders. Activities included holding both in-person and virtual events during COP29 and influencing COP30 by presenting and disseminating key findings from the policy reports and the 2025–2028 plan. The project also involved participating in other high-impact international events, such as the Second World Health Organization Global Conference on Air Pollution and Health, held in early 2025 in Cartagena, Colombia.
