International perspectives on air quality: risk management principles for policy development–conference statement.
This statement is the result of discussions held at the 2005 NERAM IV Colloquium “International Perspectives on Air Quality: Risk Management Principles for Policy Development” and represents the collective views of 35 delegates, including international air quality policy analysts, academics, nongovernmental organizations, industry representatives, and decision makers from Mexico, Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Hong Kong, and The Netherlands on principles for global air quality management. The objective of the colloquium was to “establish principles for air quality management based on the identification of international best practice in air quality policy development and implementation.” This statement represents the main findings of a breakout group discussion session, presentations of an international panel of speakers from Canada, the United States, Mexico, and Hong Kong and views of the delegates expressed in plenary discussions. NERAM undertook a transparent process to try to ensure that the statement would accurately reflect the conference discussions, including documenting the proceedings and inviting delegates’ comments on draft versions of the statement.
