Enhancing North American Air Quality Management North American Air Working Group CEC Council Session - 24 June 2009 Commission for Environmental Cooperation

Enhancing North American Air Quality Management Introduction The North American Air Working Group’s purpose is to advise the Council and to work with the Secretariat to support air quality management planning and decision-making, by providing complete air quality and emissions information that is comparable among the three North American countries. Commission for Environmental Cooperation

Project Description and Evolution The Project Evolution Enhancing North American Air Quality Management Project Description and Evolution The Project Facilitates development of comparable air emissions inventories and ambient air monitoring data; Builds capacity for self-sustaining programs; Promotes government and scientific exchange; Enhances public availability of data and information. Evolution 2007 Council endorsement of a North American Air Quality Vision; Council direction to develop a 2010-2015 North American Air Quality Strategy; Continued cooperative work on air quality management per Operational Plan and Vision. Proposed 2010-2015 Strategy, built upon successful cooperative work on air quality; Vision; and comprehensive assessment of inventories and ambient air monitoring. Commission for Environmental Cooperation

The Project has resulted in: Enhancing North American Air Quality Management The Project has resulted in: Updates to Mexico’s emissions inventory. Significant advancement toward comparability and synchronicity of regular inventory updates. Capacity for future NEI updates. Comprehensive assessment of all North American air emissions inventories and ambient air monitoring networks. Robust North American Air Quality Management Strategy proposal for 2010-2015. Complete, comparable data is critical to meaningful management of air quality. Commission for Environmental Cooperation

Benefit to the North American environment Enhancing North American Air Quality Management Benefit to the North American environment The project benefits North American public health and environment through improved air quality, borne of well-informed decisions, made possible through availability of complete, accurate and comparable data and analyses. Provides critical foundation for managing air quality. Allows for coordinated responses to long- and short-range transport. Promotes multi-pollutant, including GHG, approach that increases efficiencies. Facilitates self-sustaining air data programs in the three countries. Assists in compliance with bilateral, trilateral and international commitments. Creates further efficiencies and a foundation for future collaborative efforts. Provides for an informed North American public. Commission for Environmental Cooperation
