SLCPs and air pollutant NDCs

The study finds that policy attention to Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (SLCPs) and air pollutants in NDCs increased significantly between pre- and post-2020 submissions, with a doubling of explicit references to these pollutants as priorities and a 45% increase in specific mitigation measures.

• Explicit references to SLCPs and air pollutant mitigation as priorities more than doubled between pre- and post-2020 NDCs, reflecting increased policy attention.
• There was a significant increase in the proportion of countries including methane and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) in their general greenhouse gas reduction targets, and three countries have set explicit targets for black carbon reduction.
• The number of countries with implicit reductions in SLCPs and air pollutants has grown because there was a 45% increase in specific mitigation measures included in post-2020 NDCs.
