Sectors

We focus on these sectors to identify the most cost-efficient and practical pathways to reduce their emissions. We work closely with relevant communities, industry representatives, NGOs and policy makers to support targeted improvements to technology, best practice and policies.

Heavy-Duty Vehicles and Engines Hub
Black carbon
Reducing Emissions from Heavy-Duty Vehicles and Fuels

The CCAC’s seven Hubs address agriculture, cooling, fossil fuel, heavy-duty vehicles, household energy, waste and national planning. Through these Hubs, the CCAC aims to advance action on SLCPs mitigation in key sectors. For more information about the Hubs, visit the About the Hubs page.

The Heavy-Duty Vehicles and Engines Hub brings together governments, inter-governmental and non-governmental organizations along with private sector leaders to catalyse major reductions in black carbon through adoption of clean fuel and vehicle regulations and supporting policies. Efforts focus on global adoption of Euro VI standards, scaling up soot free and electric buses, non-road mobile machinery and stationary engines, marine and inland water transport and green freight.

Cross-cutting

We carry out work across sectors to accelerate emissions reductions for all short-lived climate pollutants. Changes in policies and practices in these areas can affect change across a wide range of polluting activities.

Supporting National Action and Planning on Short-Lived Climate Pollutants

The CCAC’s seven Hubs address agriculture, cooling, fossil fuel, heavy-duty vehicles, household energy, waste and national planning. Through these Hubs, the CCAC aims to advance action on SLCPs mitigation in key sectors. For more information about the Hubs, visit the About the Hubs page.

The National Planning Hub brings together governments, inter-governmental and non-governmental organizations along with private sector leaders to scale up action in a coordinated and prioritized way. This includes helping countries assess their emissions and mitigation options to respond in a more prioritised, targeted and cost-effective manner and address the challenges to implementation.

Making air pollution an urgent health, climate and development priority

The overall goal of the initiative is to realize reductions in SLCPs in cities through joint, complementary action by the urban health and development sectors, and by reinforcing the important linkage between SLCP mitigation, air pollution mitigation and health benefits. The initiative will provide a framework for collaboration among health, environment and economic actors to achieve reductions across key sectors: transport, waste, housing, energy industry and power generation.
