How much attention do we need to give to Acid Rain in the next 25 years? In Europe, the problem-at least for policy measures-now ranks lower than many other air pollution problems In Europe, the problem-at least for policy measures-now ranks lower than many other air pollution problems In terms of transboundary issues, particles, eutrophication and ozone are now more important In terms of transboundary issues, particles, eutrophication and ozone are now more important A job well done?!

We need to build on the strengths of CLRTAP CLRTAP has several attributes that would be virtually impossible to put in place if we were to start now CLRTAP has several attributes that would be virtually impossible to put in place if we were to start now It is therefore essential that we recognise this and not throw away this advantage that we start from It is therefore essential that we recognise this and not throw away this advantage that we start from Defra Defra

Synergies with Climate Change and Energy Policies These provide a great opportunity for significant further reductions in air pollution-even in the developed world These provide a great opportunity for significant further reductions in air pollution-even in the developed world Energy futures will be shaped by climate change concerns – in the absence of any geopolitical or economic shocks Energy futures will be shaped by climate change concerns – in the absence of any geopolitical or economic shocks But the related impacts on air pollution issues will need to be recognised, quantified and managed from a position of knowledge- scientific, technological, economic and social in a way that has not been achieved before But the related impacts on air pollution issues will need to be recognised, quantified and managed from a position of knowledge- scientific, technological, economic and social in a way that has not been achieved before Defra Defra

The Future Revision of the Gothenburg Protocol-how will this proceed? Revision of the Gothenburg Protocol-how will this proceed?
