Black Carbon Mitigation and the Role of the Global Environment Facility

Black Carbon Mitigation and the Role of the Global Environment Facility, was produced by the Scientific and Technical Advisory Panel (STAP) of the Global Environment Facility (GEF). It highlights the importance of reducing emissions of black carbon and other short-lived climate pollutants while simultaneously continuing efforts to mitigate carbon dioxide emissions. The report recommends significant investments in accelerating the reduction of black carbon to directly support implementation of the recently announced Sustainable Development Goals in the areas of improved air quality, climate change mitigation, reduced climate vulnerability, and transfer of low-carbon technologies.
