What if countries of the Indo-Gangetic Plain and Himalayan Foothills – Bhutan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan – could tackle air pollution as one region? Air pollution is a challenge that crosses national boundaries, demanding regional solutions. Join ICIMOD at Clean Air Week 2025 for a critical session exploring how countries can collectively shape the agenda for cleaner air through the Science Policy and Finance Dialogue (SPFD). Entitled ‘From national action to regional cooperation: Advancing clean air through science, policy, and finance’, the session will draw on successful models from Bhutan and Nepal, with the aim of outlining a pathway to align national clean air plans with a regional framework. Tune in for key insights on peer-to-peer exchange, South-South learning, and the financial mechanisms that are essential for real impact.
