The SLCP Challenge

and Opportunity

The main SLCPs are BC, CH4, tropospheric O3 and some HFCs:

Relatively short lifetimes in the atmosphere

Responsible for a substantial fraction of climate change

For some detrimental impacts on health, agriculture and ecosystems

16 measures identified in UNEP reports for mitigating BC and CH4:

2.4M lives saved globally each year (outdoor air po only)

32M tonnes avoided losses from four major crops each year

Reduce global warming by 0.5°C by 2050

No technical breakthroughs required

Half the reductions at low cost or cost-neutral

Additional measures with additional gains from mitigating HFCs (0.1°C

by 2050)

Fast action on SLCPs can significantly increase public health, food

and energy security, and reduce near-term climate change.

Translating the Science into

Policy and Action

The CCAC

Leverage high-level engagement and political will, and catalyze action to

address SLCPs as a global and collective challenge to protect the

environment and public health, promote food and energy security, and address

near term climate change

Voluntary, Partner-led Coalition

• Feb 2012 -> 7 Partners

• Oct 2014 -> 96 Partners: 40 States, 53 non-state partners

Science driven, action-oriented

Building on and bringing together existing efforts

Complementary to global efforts to reduce CO2 in particular under UNFCCC

Coalition of the willing

and the working!

Bring together many

players

All Partners have

endorsed meaningful

action on SLCPs
