Strengthening Nationally Determined Contributions to Catalyze Actions That Reduce Short-Lived Climate Pollutants

This research paper by the World Resources Institute argues that reducing short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) is critical for meeting the Paris Agreement and Sustainable Development Goals, noting that such actions were underrepresented in initial Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).

• Reducing short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs)—specifically methane, hydrofluorocarbons, black carbon, and tropospheric ozone—is necessary to meet the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement, including the goal of limiting temperature rise to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels to protect vulnerable communities from climatic tipping points.
• The first set of nationally determined contributions (NDCs) submitted by Parties to the Paris Agreement frequently lacked sufficient representation of actions to mitigate short-lived climate pollutants.
