Enhancing NDCs: Short-lived Climate Pollutants (webinar)

Published
2020

This webinar will focus on options for countries to incorporate targets, policies, and actions on short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) into their updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). It also highlights the many climate, health and development gains that can be achieved by focusing on these highly potent but short-lived gases which include methane, tropospheric ozone, black carbon and HFCs.

Curbing climate change and preventing deaths from air pollution go hand-in-hand and should be part of all countries' climate and development agendas.

Taking fast, ambitious action to reduce short-lived climate pollutants is vital to reducing the rate of global warming and keeping temperature rise below 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) — the ambition that all countries signed on to as part of the Paris Agreement.
