As of today, Oct 07/19, the implementation of a legally binding treaty to limit the amount of emissions polluting the air, the amended Gothenburg Protocol, is to come into effect, UN Radio reports.
As to the report, through the amended Gothenburg Protocol implementation, European and North American countries will take a major stride in cleaning up air pollution.
It is to be admitted, as of now, 18 countries and the European Union have already ratified the amended treaty, from a total of 51 who have signed, including many of the countries which are part of the UN Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE). Thus, the amended Gothenburg Protocol official entry into force marks an important step to curb pollutants closely-linked to climate change, ecosystem degeneration, and potentially life-threatening human health.
