Time to act - to reduce short-lived climate pollutants

Time to act - to reduce short-lived climate pollutants The Climate and Clean Air Coalition to Reduce Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (CCAC) has released a report, titled ‘Time to Act – To reduce short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs).' The report details the causes and sources of SLCPs, and outlines the potential benefits of control measures. According to the report, SLCPs are responsible for a substantial fraction of near-term climate change, having detrimental health, agricultural and environmental impacts. The report underscores the need for fast and immediate action on SLCPs, stating that delayed implementation of control measures would be detrimental to human well-being, and contribute to cumulative sea-level rise.
