Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution

The Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (CLRTAP) is an international agreement aimed at reducing air pollution that travels long distances across borders. Established in 1979, it brings together countries to collaborate on strategies to decrease harmful emissions like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which can cause acid rain and harm health and ecosystems. By sharing research and setting targets, the convention helps nations work together to improve air quality and protect the environment, benefiting both local communities and the planet as a whole.
