TFRN - The UNECE Task Force on Reactive Nitrogen

The Task Force on Reactive Nitrogen (TFRN) exists under the Working Group on Strategies and Review of the UNECE Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution.

The Task Force on Reactive Nitrogen has the long-term goal of developing technical and scientific information, and options which can be used for strategy development across the UNECE to encourage coordination of air pollution policies on nitrogen in the context of the nitrogen cycle and which may be used by other bodies outside the Convention in consideration of other control measures.

The Task Force holds plenary meetings at least once a year. Several Expert Panels have been set up by the TFRN, the Expert Panel on Mitigation of Agricultural Nitrogen (EPMAN) the Expert Panel on Nitrogen Budgets (EPNB), the Expert Panel on Nitrogen and Food (EPNF) and the Expert Panel on Nitrogen in countries of Eastern Europe Central Caucasus and Asia (EPN-EECCA). These panels can meet more often than the TFRN, to work on specific issues and provide input to TFRN.
