Target Users

The target users of the City Solutions Toolkit are administrators and technical staff of local governments working to address urban air pollution. As each Guidance Area focuses on specific topics, each particular module would be most helpful to the following audience with the given background:

Air Quality Monitoring and Ambient Air Quality Standards, Emissions Inventories, Modeling ​

Air quality managers and technical officers from the local government, researchers, and other AQM practitioners performing air quality monitoring and data handling, as well as emissions inventories and air quality modeling. Within the clean air action planning process, these data will be used in baselining, setting air quality goals and emission reduction targets, and in evaluating impact of control measures implemented.

Health Impacts Assessment​

Health administrators and technical officers from the local government, medical professionals, and researchers focusing on the impacts of air pollution on health and the environment, especially in relation to the monitored levels of pollutants. Results of health and environmental impact assessments can be used as input data in estimating the economic cost of air pollution or in cost-benefit analyses of specific pollution control measures.

Air Quality Communication

Communication and other local government officers, media, educators and public campaigners involved in effectively communicating air quality and the solutions that can be done to reduce air pollution.

Clean Air Action Planning, Co-benefits​

Air quality managers, administrators and technical officers from all local government agencies who are directly and indirectly involved in AQM (i.e. Planning, Transport, Health, Environment, etc.), policymakers and other AQM stakeholders (universities and research institutions, non-government organizations, private sector, community groups or associations) focused on the development of policies, projects and implementation plans related on reducing emissions, mitigation negative impacts of air pollution and improving overall AQM.
