We have organized a workshop in January 9-12 2012, involving leading scientists and local policymakers to evaluate the present situation and act towards the design of an integrated observing system to assess and forecast air quality in and aroundgrowing South American urban centers. This activity marks the closure of a fiveyear project sponsored by the Inter American Institute on Global ChangeResearch that tackled South American Emissions Megacities and Climate (SAEMC, CRN 2017). It is also a regional activity promoted and sponsored by theinternational Commission on Atmospheric Chemistry and Global Pollution (iCACGP),and by the World Meteorological Organization, Global Atmospheric Watch (GAW) and Urban Research Meteorology and Environment (GURME).
