Message from the New Deputy Director General
I envision EANET as a forward-looking network that connects all stakeholders and strengthens cooperation to address regional atmospheric challenges. Built on a foundation of scientific excellence, EANET will scale up as a more open and visible platform, while also upskilling partners through capacity building to close gaps in the region. More than a monitoring network, EANET will be a regional leader, bridging science and policy, building trust, encouraging cooperation, and becoming the first network that everyone turns to and relies on.
Siwaporn Rungsiyanon
Deputy Director General, Asia Center of Air Pollution Research
