Angola

Angola became a State Partner of the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) in 2024, reaffirming its commitment to cutting Short-lived Climate Pollutants (SLCPs) such as methane, black carbon, tropospheric ozone, and HFCs. 

As part of its priority focus, Angola is targeting SLCP reductions across fossil fuels, household energy, and heavy-duty transport. Building on its ratification of the Kigali Amendment, Angola aims to phase down HFCs through more efficient cooling, promote clean cookstoves and fuels to tackle indoor air pollution, and implement stricter emission standards and fleet modernization to cut diesel-related black carbon.

Angola has already taken significant steps that directly curb SLCPs. In the oil and gas sector, Angola participates in the World Bank’s Global Gas Flaring Reduction Partnership and is legally committed to end routine flaring by 2030, with national petroleum laws imposing fees on flaring to drive methane reductions. 

In the energy sector, Angola is rapidly scaling up renewables, commissioning major solar plants like the 189 MW Biopio and 25 MW Caraculo stations, reducing reliance on diesel and slashing black carbon emissions. 

Through its partnership with the CCAC, Angola will expand these efforts by leveraging technical support and funding to deepen methane management in oil and gas, accelerate household clean energy transitions, and cut transport emissions—delivering benefits for health, climate, and sustainable economic growth.
