Still Scope for Integration in Climate Policies in Asia

Also Scope for Integration with Air Pollution Policies in Asia

Several Organizations Could Support Integration

Informal networks could support policy integration A platform to improve information sharing and stakeholder dialogue on co-benefits in Asia. Goal: mainstreaming of co-benefits into decision-making processes in Asia.

Several other regional initiatives could support policy integration

New areas for partnership forming: TEMM The Ministers welcomed the First Tripartite Policy Dialogue on Air Pollution held in Beijing on March They supported specific areas of future cooperation identified in the dialogue, including exchange of experience regarding control and management of VOCs and off- road vehicle pollution. They also agreed on concrete cooperative measures such as sharing air pollution control policies, exchanging best practices, control technologies and assessment methodologies. Recognizing the dialogue as an effective platform for sharing information and fostering partnership, they agreed to hold the dialogue on a regular basis and promote further development. In addition, they concurred in reporting the dialogues' summary to Directors General Meeting (DGM) for TEMM. They noted that the next meeting will be hosted by Korea in 2015.

Next steps for CCAC /Partners: aligning these initiatives so they can strengthen policy integration and catalyze and scale action

Critical next steps for this meeting 1.Firmly anchor work on SLCPs in the environmental and health agenda with explicit links to the ASEAN Health and Ministers Work Plan Deepen knowledge of SLCP control options to provide actionable inputs into the Work Plan and other initiatives
