The 1979 Geneva Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution
The Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution is one of the central means for protecting our environment. It has, over the years, served as a bridge between different political systems and as a factor of stability in years of political change. It has substantially contributed to the development of international environmental law and has created the essential framework for controlling and reducing the damage to human health and the environment caused by transboundary air pollution. It is a successful example of what can be achieved through intergovernmental cooperation.
The Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution entered into force in 1983. It has been extended by eight specific protocols.
