Primer on Short-Lived Climate Pollutants-\u00a0Download<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n
\n

Slowing the rate of global warming over the near term\u00a0<\/span>by cutting short-lived climate pollutants to complement
\ncarbon dioxide reductions for the long term<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Institute for Governance & Sustainable Development\u2019s mission is to promote just and sustainable societies and to protect the environment by advancing the understanding, development, and implementation
\nof effective, accountable and democratic systems of governance for sustainable development.
\nBeginning in 2005, the Institute embarked on a \u201cfast-action\u201d climate mitigation campaign to promote strategies that will result in significant reductions of emissions, temperature, and impacts in the near term, focusing
\nprimarily on strategies to reduce non-CO2\u00a0climate pollutants, to complement cuts in CO2, which is responsible for more than half of all warming.
\nIt is essential to reduce both non-CO2\u00a0pollutants and CO2. Neither alone is sufficient to limit the increase in global temperature to a safe level.
\nIGSD\u2019s fast-action strategies include reducing emissions of short-lived climate pollutants\u2014black carbon, methane, tropospheric ozone, and hydrofluorocarbons. They also include measures to capture, reuse, and \/ or store CO2after it is emitted, including biosequestration and strategies to turn biomass into more stable forms of carbon for long-term storage.
