(2)formulate measures for improving the policy framework for reduction of sulfur dioxide and other acid rain causing gas emissions. (3) support a set of subproject that promote cleaner production, reduce acid rain and air pollution, improve the environment. (4) institutional strengthening for environmental monitoring and enforcement including human resource development. (5)improve agriculture and forest productivity and protect the environment.

What resources are used faster than replaced?
It is either called non-renewable resources or depleting resources. I believe many would get confused of the term non-renewable for the fact that fossil fuel did classified as non-renewable but actually it could renew at very slow rate. Itshould be called a depleting resource better. However, considering the renewing rate is extremely slow it is then just classified as another non-renewable.
