Chapter 5: Aligning Air quality, climate change and development objectives to promote action in Africa - Integrated Assessment of Air Pollution and Climate Change for Sustainable Development in Africa

This chapter builds on the findings of previous chapters and integrates air quality, climate, and development objectives in the whole of Africa. It synthesizes global and regional perspectives, priorities, and their links to key multilateral agreements. Different funding sources and mechanisms are discussed. Finally, a road map towards achieving the low emission Agenda 2063 is outlined. Key sectoral policies, and the recommended measures emerging from chapter 3 are analysed considering their potential for transformative change, best practices on the ground, regionally specific opportunities to fast-track development, innovation, and cost-effectiveness as well as the social implications of the implementation of the recommended measures.
