- Maintaining atmospheric quality
Description
Protecting the atmosphere involves implementing measures to reduce air pollution, limit greenhouse gas emissions, and prevent ozone layer depletion. Key actions include enforcing emission standards, promoting clean energy sources, improving energy efficiency, and supporting reforestation. These strategies aim to mitigate climate change, safeguard public health, and preserve ecological balance by addressing sources of atmospheric degradation and fostering sustainable practices across industries, transportation, and agriculture.
Implementation
This strategy features in the framework of Agenda 21 as formulated at UNCED (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), now coordinated by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development and implemented through national and local authorities.
