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

The document argues that reducing short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs)—specifically methane, hydrofluorocarbons, black carbon, and tropospheric ozone—is critical for staying within a 1.5°C temperature rise and avoiding climatic tipping points. It notes that these pollutants were frequently underrepresented in initial NDCs and suggests that strengthening future NDCs with SLCP-specific actions is essential for achieving the Paris Agreement and Sustainable Development Goals.

• Reducing short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs), which include methane, hydrofluorocarbons, black carbon, and tropospheric ozone, is necessary to prevent exceeding a 1.5°C temperature increase and to avoid climatic tipping points that disproportionately impact poor and vulnerable populations.
