Abstract
the development of curative and regenerative therapies that go beyond the largely symptomatic treatment options available; and (6) deployment of public health preventive strategies for banning smoking and maintaining clean air. We are fully cognisant that the scientific evidence to support some of our proposals is lacking. However, it is the intention of the Commission to generate discourse and debate, catalyse momentum, and provide a much-needed new vision to set the course towards the elimination of COPD.
