1. Background and Objectives:

EANET was established in 2001 as an intergovernmental initiative focusing on creating a common understanding of the state of acid deposition problems in East Asia, providing useful inputs for decision-making at various levels, and promoting cooperation among 13 Participating Countries (PCs) countries in Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia, including Malaysia. In 2021, EANET expanded its scope to cover broader air pollution issues and established a Project Fund mechanism to promote cooperation with other organizations outside of EANET.

EANET’s activities are guided by its five-year Medium-Term Plans and a Work Programme and Budget approved by the Participating Countries every year. In 2024, the Secretariat for the EANET is organizing national stakeholder awareness workshops to promote EANET, better understand specific country needs, support the implementation of projects, and develop more projects and activities to support the Participating Countries’ efforts to address acid deposition and air pollution.

The EANET National Stakeholder Awareness Workshop in Malaysia – Understanding Air Pollution and its Sources, Weather, Climate, and Topography in Malaysia, will be held in Bangi, Selangor, Malaysia, on 26 November 2024, from 9:00 to 12:30 (GMT+8), co-hosted by the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, in partnership with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability, Malaysia, and alongside with EANET’s 26th Session of the Intergovernmental Meeting on the EANET, to be held on 27-28 November 2024 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
