Accelerating Progress to Reduce Black Carbon Emissions: An Arctic case study on technical and political solutions

As the Arctic region is highly sensitive to the effects of black carbon, reducing black carbon emissions is crucial for tackling regional warming and protecting human health. This event will present findings from a case study on black carbon emissions reduction, as part of a forthcoming political economy analysis. The session will explore the most promising solutions for emissions reduction, considering their political ‘feasibility’ and potential for climate and health impacts. It will include reflections from national governments, and most-affected Indigenous communities. Confirmed speakers include:
