Greater Geneva puts in place cross-border monitoring of air pollution
October 2015
On 21 September, the players from the Greater Geneva area presented an innovative new tool that makes it possible to monitor air pollution across the cross-border territory: the G²AME (Grand Genève Air Modèle Emissions – Greater Geneva Air Emissions Model) platform.
This is the concrete outcome of the joint work carried out by air experts from the Rhône-Alpes Region, the Canton of Geneva and the Canton of Vaud with the aim of producing a harmonised analysis of polluting emissions in order to be able ultimately to control them and thereby protect the health of the population. We should recall that the "France-Vaud-Geneva Conurbation Project" has set itself the objective of "controlling emissions and concentrations of pollutants and greenhouse gases".
