SNAP - SUPPORTING NATIONAL ACTION AND PLANNING ON SLCPs Côte d’Ivoire

Côte d’Ivoire is utilizing the SNAP initiative to identify and mitigate short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) to improve public health, agriculture, and climate. Priority areas for action include the transportation sector, waste management, industrial processes, oil refineries, and the use of traditional cookstoves. The country is employing the LEAP-IBC tool for emission inventories and planning, with the goal of informing its air quality strategy and the implementation of the Paris Agreement.

• Côte d’Ivoire has identified several priority sectors for SLCP mitigation, including the waste sector, transportation, refineries, health, and urban planning. Specific concerns include the open burning of waste, industrial processes, and the use of traditional cookstoves, the latter of which contributes to health impacts for citizens.
• Air pollution from identified sources was linked to approximately 16,000 premature deaths in 2013, according to the Global Burden of Disease project.
• The transportation sector is a critical priority for policy development due to rapid urbanization and an aging vehicle fleet. The total car fleet in Côte d’Ivoire is estimated at 600,000 vehicles with an average age of 19 years; furthermore, 80% of imported vehicles are second-hand (aged 7 to 15 years), and half of those are diesel.
• The national planning process involves a multi-stakeholder approach, including the national centre on pollution control, the private sector, civic societies, and the Laboratory for Atmospheric Physics of University Felix Houphouet Boigny. The LEAP-IBC tool is being used to identify data gaps and will be utilized for CO2 and air pollution emission inventories.
• The resulting national SLCP plan is intended to inform the country's air quality strategy and the implementation of the Paris Agreement. Additionally, the Ministry for Environment has established an Environmental Information System to centralize environmental parameters for policy decisions.
