Note: The 2020 Task Force on Hemispheric Transport of Air Pollution (TF HTAP) meeting will take place directly following the 49th meeting of the Task Force on Integrated Assessment Modeling (TFIAM), via a separate Zoom meeting. The TFIAM meeting will end at 11:55 UTC on 22 April.

To register for the TFIAM meeting and receive the Zoom link, please email the TFIAM co-chairs, Rob Maas (rob.maas@rivm.nl) and Stefan Åström (stefan.astrom@ivl.se).

Meeting Objectives:

The purpose of the upcoming TF HTAP meeting is to identify near-term (within 2 years) opportunities and longer-term research needs to improve the scientific basis for assessing:

• The impact of methane mitigation measures on tropospheric ozone levels on regional and global scales; and
• The impact of tropospheric ozone on human health and ecosystem damage on regional and global scales.

This meeting will look at current work and/or efforts throughout the international science community aimed at addressing these issues and identify where new cooperative efforts under TF HTAP may contribute most. We will explore potential synergies with TOAR, CCAC, AMAP, AQMEII, MICS-Asia, AerChemMIP, and other relevant efforts, with the goal of improving the scientific basis for considering these issues should they arise in future international policy negotiations in the upcoming years.
