EANET Newsletter Volume 30 December 2022 - Acid Deposition Monitoring Network in East Asia

In 2021, in a landmark decision, the IG23 adopted the text of the Annex to the EANET Instrument. Through this Annex, Participating Countries agreed to work on an expanded list of air pollutants beyond acid deposition, including among others, Particulate matter, and Volatile Organic Compounds. In 2022, the EANET held its key meetings: the WG 2022, STM23, SAC22, and the IG24 allowing EANET Participating Countries to design the network’s future directions. Alongside other important topics, in November 2022, the IG24 approved the first batch of “EANET Project Plans” funded through the EANET Project Fund, a new financial mechanism encouraging collaboration with implementation partners and co-financing from outside the EANET Network.
