25. Reduction of non-CO₂ gases
Mitigation strategies for black carbon air pollution
Black carbon mitigation strategies target soot emissions from diesel engines, residential cooking/heating, open burning, and industry through cleaner fuels, advanced cookstoves, particulate filters, waste reduction, and strict emission standards.
How this solutions relates to the action agenda
Axis: 6. Unleashing Enablers and Accelerators including on Financing, Technology and Capacity-Building
Key Objective: 25. Reduction of non-CO₂ gases
Why it matters
Black carbon is a short-lived climate pollutant (SLCP) that accelerates warming and harms health. Cutting emissions delivers benefits such as reduced warming, improved air quality, fewer premature deaths, and stronger climate resilience.
