The process for the document began with the Inception Workshop attended by selected youth (5 members) from the South Asian Countries. The content outline for the “Youth for Clean Air” document was developed and its structure was finalised.

The document was developed under two sections.Section A contains Introduction to Atmospheric emissions, in general, their sources and impacts on various spheres of the environment. Section B focuses on the Reduction measures at various levels - as individuals, collective efforts, efforts at Local, Regional, and Global levels.

The content was developed and shared at the Editorial Workshop with UNEP representatives and the youth themselves in Sri Lanka. About 25 Sri Lankan youth participated in this workshop along with the youth from other South Asian Countries who were a part of the inception workshop. Discussions were held on the content of the document and by the end of the workshop, the document content was finalised.

The document was launched at the Malé Declaration 5th Regional Stake Holders Meeting in COlombo on 20th August, 2008.

The structure of the interactive CD was determined in the Inception workshop itself. The CD has been divided into four modules following the format of the YCA document –

Understanding Atmospheric Emissions, Sources of atmospheric emissions, Impacts and Measures to reduce atmospheric emissions.

The objective of the CD is to provide information to the young people in South Asia so that they have a better understanding of issues related to Air and its pollution. It supports the ‘Youth for Clean Air’ document and helps drive the educated youth from a reading mode to an action-oriented mode.
