Potent Pollutants - Mitigating the Power of Methane, Black Carbon and Refrigerants (HFCs)
31 July, 2018
Online
Methane, black carbon, and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are powerful short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) present in the food and agricultural supply chains. This webinar will introduce and map out the impacts of SLCP emissions and how they are generated in these sectors from actions including open burning, dairy production, fuel, waste, and refrigeration.

The Pathway to the Paris Targets Matters (Climate and Clean Air Coalition side event at Latin America & Caribbean Climate Week)
23 August, 2018
Montevideo, Uruguay
The Paris Climate Agreement under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) explicitly links the world’s long-term climate and near-term sustainability agendas. In the context of sustainable development, the path the world takes to meet the long-term temperature targets is as important as achieving the target itself, particularly for those that are already suffering from the impacts of climate change and poor air quality. The session will describe the Multiple Benefits Pathway Approach that is being developed by partners of the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC), and its application by a number of countries in the Latin American and Caribbean region.

Combatting Climate Change by Reducing Emissions of Short-Lived Climate Pollutants: Perspectives on Science, Law and Policy
28 August, 2018
Helsinki, Finland
An international seminar by the ClimaSlow research project to discuss the science and policy related to emissions of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) in developing countries. It will focus on black carbon and methane in particular, with an emphasis on the science of SLCP mitigation in Asia and Latin America. On the policy side, the seminar’s goals include discussing challenges and opportunities related to the strengthening of the regulation and governance of SLCPs.
