Broadcast-Accelerating Action on Super Pollutants: The Road to COP30

We Don’t Have Time and UNEP's Climate and Clean Air Coalition are proud to present Accelerating Action on Super Pollutants: The Road to COP30.

This three-part series, shot in Brasilia, in advance of COP30, involves interviews, debates and a field trip to an inspiring waste pickers project filmed during the CCAC’s annual conference.

Short-lived climate pollutants, also known as super pollutants, are the “other half” of global warming. But because most of them last for a relatively short time in the atmosphere, urgent action to cut them could be an “emergency brake” at a time when the 1.5 C safety limit is under threat.

The thread running through this series is the opportunity for action in 2025 if, as nations revise their NDCs, short lived pollutants are woven into these plans. Stepped up action on these pollutants could not only help the world to halve climate emissions by 2030. It could also provide a big boost against health-hazardous air pollution, crop losses and the poisoning of natural systems.
