According to the report, reducing black carbon along with other major pollutants is the fastest way to improve the economy, public health, and air quality while achieving near-immediate climate gains.
What is black carbon?
Black carbon, another name for soot, is a form of fine particulate air pollution (PM2.5). Black carbon is categorized as a Short-Lived Climate Pollutant (SLCP) and only remains in the atmosphere for a few days to weeks.
Top emitters: After China, India is the world's second-largest emitter of black carbon.
Impact on the Regional Climate: accelerates the melting of glaciers and Arctic ice by darkening snow and ice. It is estimated to have caused 39% of the mass loss of the Yala glacier on the Tibetan Plateau.
Disruption of the Hydrological Cycle: By interfering with the monsoon rains in Asia and West Africa, this increases the risk of drought and flooding.
Suggestions for businesses that generate a lot of black carbon in and around the Arctic, with a focus on home heating, shipping, and gas flaring.
Updating Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and adding targets for cutting black carbon to national energy and clean air plans.
