Short-Lived Climate Pollutants and the Sustainable Development Goals

The global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and targets draw from diverse aspects of human and planetary needs and challenges. Achieving them by 2030 will require coordinated actions on many fronts. Actions to reduce SLCPs will produce important near-term benefits that will support the success of the SDGs by improving human health and reducing vulnerability, driving economic growth and innovation such as catalyzing improvements in energy efficiency, and combatting near-term climate change.

This short document outlines the actions to reduce short-lived climate pollutants that can contribute to achieving the SDGs.
