On 9 April, Hanoi’s Department of Natural Resources and Environment (Sở NN&MT Hà Nội), in cooperation with partners, held a kickoff meeting for the FASEP project “Phố thở - Hà Nội thở.” The initiative is designed to support the city in tackling air pollution through technical cooperation and the development of tools for air quality management.
At the meeting, Mr. Nguyễn Minh Tấn, Deputy Director of Hanoi’s Department of Natural Resources and Environment, said air pollution is one of the major challenges facing cities worldwide, including Hanoi. He noted that while the city has implemented measures to control and improve air quality, air pollution remains complex due to multiple sources, multi-sector involvement, and spatial-temporal variability.
The organizers said the project is based on technical cooperation between Hanoi’s Department of Natural Resources and Environment and SUEZ ARIA Technologies (France). The partner will assist Hanoi in applying modeling tools to identify emission sources, study air quality forecasts, and assess the economic and social impacts of management solutions.
The project will also study a pilot Low Emission Zone (LEZ) and aim to build an integrated air quality management system. This system is intended to support the city in responding to high-pollution episodes.
In addition, the project will provide databases and tools to support operational management and policy making.
The project is funded at 480,000 EURO and will be implemented over 18 months.
Mr. Nguyễn Minh Tấn said the project is expected to contribute to improving air quality and to help build a green, clean, and sustainable capital. He also highlighted that it could open opportunities to mobilize additional resources from international organizations, including the World Bank and the European Union, to expand the scale and scope of deployment in the future.
