TIRANA, Oct 12 /ATA/ Albania is strengthening its air quality monitoring and environmental data management capacities through the “Albania Air Quality Alignment” project, in partnership with the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency.
Environment Minister Sofjan Jaupaj said in a social media post today that the initiative aims to improve environmental monitoring and data systems, as well as strengthen institutional capacities in the field of environmental protection.
According to Jaupaj, this cooperation represents an important step towards improving quality of life and aligning Albania with European Union standards under Chapter 27, which covers the environment and climate change.
