Developing an Integrated Climate and Air Quality Management (IC AQMP) “Action Plan”

The main objective of this assignment was to develop an Integrated and Comprehensive Air Quality Management Plan (IC-AQMP) for the Greater Cairo Region, supported by the necessary economic studies and targeted investment requirements.
