The Assessment of Climate Change Effects on Pollution Transport in Cyprus (ACCEPT) project is a joined effort between scientists and experts, to investigate the interaction between air pollution and climate change through a comprehensive suite of novel atmospheric measurements combined with the last generation of computer-based model simulations to better assess associated risks on public health and various economic sectors.
The objective of the project is to provide new scientific knowledge on air pollution that is not currently available in Cyprus, with the expected positive impact of implementing efficient abatement strategies, improving air quality, and reducing human exposure. This will be done through the studies that will contribute to a better understanding of the local versus transported (e.g. transboundary) air pollution and provide air quality forecasts as well as testing of new technologies. The main activities of the project are related to research and innovation.
