Bangkok has become the twelfth city to join the Breathe Cities initiative, a global network dedicated to improving air quality. The Thai capital is aiming to reduce air pollution by up to 30 percent by 2030, and through the partnership will receive support for gathering air quality data, capacity-building and community engagement.
Since 2010, the city has embarked on efforts to improve air quality by monitoring and mapping pollution sources and expanding the public metro system, electrifying public buses and increasing green spaces.
