A growing body of research suggests Asia could save millions of lives and protect the climate through stronger air pollution policies. The gap between atmospheric science and policy has nonetheless often frustrated efforts to capture these benefits. This session draws upon the views of researchers and practitioners to discuss how to strengthen the interface between atmospheric science and policy in Asia.
