Emissions of short-lived climate pollutants - such as black carbon, methane and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) - and associated emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollutants are harming millions of people around the world through their direct and indirect impacts on human health, agriculture, ecosystems, and the climate.
Compelling scientific evidence indicates that fast action to control these pollutants can deliver substantial climate and air quality benefits. Achieving these would require action at the national scale, where decisions are often made.
The Coalition supports national planning through its collaborative programme that enables governments to scale up action in a coordinated and prioritized way. This work includes helping countries assess their mitigation options and address the challenges to implementation.
Our work is a mix of technical assistance and financial support that strengthens countries’ capacity to undertake an integrated analysis of greenhouse gases alongside all aerosols and short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs). Through this integrated analysis, countries identify national opportunities for action for both climate and development that can inform other planning processes, such as NDCs and national development plans.
Guidance materials we have developed are used alongside the “LEAP-IBC” tool to assess the impact of mitigation scenarios on climate, air pollution and crop yields. To inspire others and share good practices, we showcase countries’ efforts and actively promote regional cooperation with other global initiatives.
The Coalition focuses its support on developing capacity within partner countries to enable rapid and large-scale implementation of short-lived climate pollutant mitigation. This is achieved by:
Since 2013, the Coalition has developed a methodology and set of tools to support countries in short-lived climate pollutant planning efforts. Key achievements include:
Lead Partner: A Coalition partner with an active role in coordinating, monitoring and guiding the work of an initiative.
Implementer: A Coalition partner or actor receiving Coalition funds to implement an activity or initiative.
