Cooperation with other International/Regional Programmes

► Scientific cooperation with CLRTAP EMEP, WMO were strengthened in the past years.

► New partnerships were explored, such as UNEP-WHO Regional Forum on Environment and Health.

► Collaborative activities conducted with IIASA in the Model Inter-Comparison Study in Asia (MICS-Asia) project.

► A joint Workshop with TF HTAP was held back to back with SAC9 in 2009.

[Cost & Benefit]

Models are a cost-effective way to supplement data gaps by interpolation, extrapolation of observations in space and time; test current theories & explore hypothetical control scenarios.
