  1. Scientific Research Institute for Atmospheric Air Protection National Coordination Center for LRTAP Convention Saint-Petersburg, Russia Workshop to Promote the Ratification of the Protocols on Heavy Metals,POPs and the Gothenburg Protocol across the Entire UNECE Region The Russian Federation and LRTAP Convention: current air emission trends, related statistics and actions towards HM, POPs and Gothenburg Protocols ratification ALEXANDER ROMANOV, M.Sc. 26-28 October 2009, St. Petersburg, Russia

  2. Presentation outline • “Classic” pollutant emissions • Heavy metals emissions • “EECCA Project” as a framework for action 26-28 October 2009, St. Petersburg, Russia

  3. Basics • Russian Federation is a party to 3 first Protocols of the LRTAP Convention: EMEP (1984), SOx (1985), NOx (1988) • Emissions of SOx, NOx, CO, NMVOC, NH3 and PM (TSP) are reported (European territory only) consistently • Heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Hg) data have flaws 26-28 October 2009, St. Petersburg, Russia

  11. “EECCA Project” • “Facilitating the ratification and implementation of the protocols of the Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution in Eastern Europe and Central Asia: a joint project from the Russian Federation, Belarus and Kazakhstan (open invitation) in cooperation with UNECE • Initiated in December 2008 • Inception stage promotion since June 2009 • Financial contribution of the MoFA of the Russian Federation via UNECE Technical Cooperation Fund (ongoing process) 26-28 October 2009, St. Petersburg, Russia

  12. “EECCA Project”: details • Objective - Intensification of the activities of partner countries concerning the joining to the CLRTAP Protocols with a view to decreasing the adverse effects of transboundary air pollution, in particular on human health and on ecosystems 26-28 October 2009, St. Petersburg, Russia

  13. “EECCA Project”: details Expected accomplishments: • To identify the common challenges in the field of atmospheric air protection that are faced by the EECCA and SEE countries • To establish a regional expert network as the basis for EECCA and SEE countries cooperation under the Convention • To develop national emission inventory reports and national action plans for joining the CLRTAP Protocols 26-28 October 2009, St. Petersburg, Russia

  14. “EECCA Project”: details Expected accomplishments: • To develop a toolkit for analyzing the actual situation of EECCA and SEE countries with regard to the perspectives of joining to the CLRTAP Protocols • To carry out an assessment of related costs and benefits of joining to the CLRTAP Protocols • To develop national implementation plans on adaptation of tools and mechanisms developed under the Convention for solution of national atmospheric air protection tasks 26-28 October 2009, St. Petersburg, Russia

  15. “EECCA Project”: details Five stages: • Inception – preparation of the project outline and kick-off event; • First stage – expert networkestablishment, common challenges identification, experience sharing activities with Western and Eastern European countries – parties to the Protocols; • Second stage – development of pilot emission inventory and national implementation plan, • Third stage – national legislation analysis and amendments of required policies and procedures, cost-benefit analysis of joining to the Protocols • Fourth stage – development of national implementation plans for all countries, conference for EECCA and SEE countries on lessons learned 26-28 October 2009, St. Petersburg, Russia
