Join us for our 2022 virtual Annual General Meeting (AGM) and celebrate 20 years of the IAQM and all the things the organisation has done to champion professionalism and sound science in the air quality sector.
You will also have the opportunity to hear about the IAQM’s strategic direction, activities over the past year, and welcome your new Committee members! Member voting is currently open for the Committee election.
The AGM will be followed by a keynote speech from Prof. Helen ApSimon:
An integrated approach to improving air quality
Solving air pollution problems requires a multi-faceted approach from understanding the causes, atmospheric dispersal and effects, to producing effective and implement effective action plans which will deliver improvement. This will be illustrated drawing on the work of the UN ECE Convention in addressing transboundary air pollution, and complementary work at the national level in developing post Brexit UK policy and the new Environment Act. In both these contexts “integrated assessment modelling” has been used to bring together projected emissions, atmospheric dispersion, and impacts on human health and the natural environment; and consider potential abatement options and their costs in order to explore cost-effective strategies for improvement of air quality, and what is achievable. This requires coordinated action from international protocols at a European scale, to measures are enacted at national and city scales. Increasingly the boundaries have to be extended to wider considerations and synergies with climate and transport policies, with net zero scenarios to 2050 and behavioural change. And there are always uncertainties and surprises around the corner to allow for!
