Air Quality and Climate Management Plan Template
Each Megacities Partnership is inherently unique to the city - the local policy, scientific, and cultural context, the data available, and goals vary in each Megacity and drive the direction of the Partnership. Nonetheless, there are some basic frameworks (templates) for certain steps in the process (e.g., information collection, needs assessment, and capacity building) that are relevant to all Megacities and inform the progression of the project. The templates provide meaningful structure to the project, while still maintaining flexibility to meet each Megacity's needs.
This template builds upon the Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) to consider climate impacts in addition to air quality. The Air Quality and Climate Management Plan is a comprehensive document describing the motivations for air quality management and climate mitigation, qualitative and quantitative findings on the impacts of air/climate pollution on the megacity, and most importantly, targeted actions and a path forward for mitigating sources of air pollution and greenhouse gases. The document concludes with a table of recommended tools and resources to help estimate emission reductions, health benefits, and more.
The Air Quality and Climate Management Plan Template is available below in English, Spanish, Russian and French.
