In a statement on Monday, March 20, the non-government organization stated that the air quality in the country does not meet the standards of the World Health Organization . It is now pushing for policy-oriented methods to help elevate the air quality in the Asia Pacific.
It also mentioned that during an international forum arranged by the United Nations earlier this month, the organization said that different actors should collaborate to enforce air quality standards and consolidate clean air and climate action plans. In other countries in Southeast Asia like Indonesia, Brunei, Burma, Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand, the group said that governments are also ramping up their shift to EVs by introducing policies to promote it.
