International and intergovernmental cooperation to address the improvement of air quality in the framework of climate change: tropospheric ozone and its effects on crops
Abstract
The UN-ECE Air Convention is the main international negotiating forum for limiting air pollutants emissions in order to reduce their harmful effects, and is an example of intergovernmental cooperation on air quality safeguarding at global scale.Its technical working groups, such as the ICP Vegetation, are also an example of international scientific-technical collaboration for the definition of environmental risk indicators (critical levels); specifically, ozone risk for crops and ecosystems. Working groups for implementation of these methodologies for Mediterranean agrosystems have been developed within it, which would be interesting to extend towards southern countries of the Mediterranean basin; something currently being explored through collaboration between research groups from Spain and Tunisia.
