Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC)

SEI plays a key role in the effort to reduce short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs). 

Short-lived climate pollutants are a major threat to human health and have gained significant attention in recent years. Black carbon, methane and tropospheric ozone are the main SLCPs. They are the most significant drivers of climate change after carbon dioxide. 

Recognizing the risk, Stockholm Environment Institute has long been involved with international action to address SLCPs. This includes, for example, coordinating research for a global assessment of black carbon and tropospheric ozone in 2011.

Responding to the evidence governments and partners established a Climate and Clean Air Coalition to Reduce Short-Lived Climate Pollutants in 2012.

SEI is a key partner in the coalition and supports initiatives to mitigate near-term climate change and improve human health, food security and the resilience of ecosystems.
