Division 16

We stress the need for coordinated research and development programmes in order to ensure counter-pollution measures are executed with best available techniques and equipment when dealing with existing and future challenges, for example, the introduction and increased use of new fuels, designed to comply with increasing stringent emission regulations, appear to demand innovative response techniques. We reaffirm that decision making processes are supported by the best available knowledge, methods and supportive tools. We note the identification of priorities for Research and Development under the Bonn Agreement Strategic Action Plan 2019-2025.
