Bangladesh National Air Quality Management Plan 2024-2030.

The Bangladesh National Air Quality Management Plan (NAQMP) 2024–2030 establishes a framework for reducing ambient and indoor air pollution and achieving national air quality standards. The Plan identifies the principal sources of air pollution, including household fuel use, power generation, brick kilns, industry, transport, road dust, and open waste burning, and sets out coordinated measures to address emissions from these sectors. Key actions include strengthening legal and institutional frameworks, expanding air quality monitoring networks, developing emissions inventories, implementing continuous emissions monitoring systems, promoting clean cooking technologies, cleaner industrial production, renewable energy, improved transport standards, and municipal waste management. The Plan also promotes economic and fiscal instruments, stakeholder participation, research, capacity building, and regional cooperation to address transboundary air pollution while maximising public health and climate co-benefits. Implementation is supported through defined institutional responsibilities, monitoring indicators, financing mechanisms, and periodic review processes to ensure effective air quality management and sustainable development outcomes.
