What Does CLRTAP Stand For?

CLRTAP stands for Convention On Long Range Transboundary Air Pollution

CLRTAP, or the Convention on Long Range Transboundary Air Pollution, is an international treaty aimed at reducing and preventing air pollution that has harmful effects across borders. Established in 1979 under the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), CLRTAP provides a framework for cooperation among countries to address air quality issues through scientific research, policy development, and regulation. The Convention enables participating nations to monitor air pollution, assess transboundary effects, and implement measures to combat air pollutants, thereby protecting human health and the environment.
