Funding Information: In 2022, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment in Lao PDR (MONRE) and the Natural Resource and Environment Research Institute (NRERI) began to develop an initial air pollutant mitigation assessment for Lao PDR through a project funded by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). This study presents the first national air pollutant emission inventory for Lao PDR developed through this project. It quantifies national total air pollutant emissions in Lao PDR, highlights key source sectors by province, and shows the spatial and temporal variation between 2013 and 2019. The overlap between major sources of air pollutants and greenhouse gases is shown through quantification of carbon dioxide (CO) and methane (CH) emissions alongside air pollutants. This inventory therefore provides a foundation to assess the ability of mitigation measures to simultaneously reduce air pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions in Lao PDR. 2 4 Publisher Copyright: © 2024 The Author(s).
