Super Pollutant Country Action Accelerator

Closing the implementation gap and delivering whole-of-government action at speed

The problem the Accelerator solves

Many developing countries already have ambitious plans to reduce methane, black carbon, tropospheric ozone and HFCs. The barrier is no longer ambition, it is implementation capacity.

Current support is fragmented: short-term consultancies, pilot projects, and disconnected donor initiatives. The old project-by-project model cannot deliver rapid, economy-wide reductions at the scale required this decade.

Countries need an in-government platform that can coordinate across ministries, align finance, and move from plans to execution.

The Accelerator fills that gap.

A proven model, adapted to super pollutants

The Accelerator draws inspiration from the Montreal Protocol’s implementation architecture with its National Ozone Units, one of the most successful environmental implementation systems ever created.

Their success came from embedding longer-term technical capacity inside government, creating continuity, ownership, and accountability.

A programmatic implementation package

Each participating country can tap into a 3-year in-government team and a bundled multi-year investment package aligned with national strategies. Pre-approved funding envelopes and package approvals allow countries to move faster from planning to implementation.

The Accelerator will help transform mitigation strategies into bankable investment pipelines and connect governments with development finance.

The effort was launched with 7 countries at COP30, and the support is being rolled out.
