- The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the leading global environmental authority that sets the global environmental agenda, promotes the coherent implementation of the environmental dimension of sustainable development within the United Nations system and serves as an authoritative advocate for the global environment. The topic of pollution represents one of the most pressing health issues worldwide, and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development offers, through the SDGs and its pollution reducing targets, a great chance for triggering concrete initiatives to tackle pollution. In 2019, UNEP developed the regional study “Air pollution and human health in the Western Balkans”, providing an overview of the key findings of the health effects of air pollution and the key recommendations for the governments in the region. The study provided the assessments of the pollutants and sources, health risks and threats and the monitoring overview in the period from 2010-2015. According to the study, city dwellers in the Western Balkans breathe air with concentrations of pollutants up to five times higher than levels specified in national, European and WHO Air Quality Guidance standards. The 2019 study was further followed in 2021 with a publication of a summary of its key messages for policy-makers and the public. To further support the governments of the Western Balkans UNEP decided to continue supporting activities to improve evidence-based policymaking and action in the region to reduce air pollution from high-impact sectors and their effects on human health and to support implementation of UNEA-6 Resolution UNPE/EA.6/Res.10 - Promoting regional cooperation on air pollution to improve air quality globally, which was adopted by the United Nations Environment Assembly on 1 March 2024. This UNEP initiative is developed within the framework of the UNEP-wide project on Improving Air Quality, under UNEP’s Programme Coordination Project (PCP) on Pollution and Health, and will be rolled out in close coordination with UNRC Offices, UNCT members and other relevant development partners in the Western Balkans under the broad framework of the South Eastern Europe Pollution Platform (SEEPP) established in 2019 and implemented by UNEP with the support for the Italia
