EANET Projects 2022-2026

The EANET Project Fund mechanism was approved by the Twenty-third Session of the Intergovernmental Meeting on the Acid Deposition Monitoring Network in East Asia in November 2021. Project Concept Notes and Plans are submitted to yearly Working Group Meetings (generally in August), then to the Scientific Advisory Committee Meetings (in October), and finally approved by the Intergovernmental Meeting on the EANET each year in November.

At the Twenty-seventh Session of the Intergovernmental Meeting on the EANET (IG27) in November 2025, the Participating Countries approved eleven EANET Projects for 2026, in addition to the activities under the Core Budget of the EANET.

The projects cover a comprehensive set of technical and capacity-building priorities, including the collection of long-term atmospheric nitrogen data, advanced PM2.5 source identification, and broader integrated monitoring efforts that also strengthen understanding and capacities of ozone and VOC pollution across the region. They further support improved use of satellite observations, and stronger national skills in emissions monitoring, financing strategies, and project planning.

In parallel, the portfolio promotes regional leadership through fellowships, international trainings for government officials, and targeted workshops on sustainable agricultural practices and air quality legislation—providing EANET countries with practical tools to better manage air pollution in East and Southeast Asia.
