This study evaluates the inclusion of Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (SLCPs) and air pollutant mitigation in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) submitted between 2015 and 2022, finding a significant increase in both explicit priorities and specific mitigation measures post-2020.

This research paper describes the application of the Global Atmospheric Pollution Forum Emission Inventory (GAPF-EI) tool in Côte d’Ivoire to identify key air pollutant and greenhouse gas emission sources, highlighting its utility for low- and middle-income countries.

This report analyzes the greenhouse gas (GHG) and air pollutant emissions of 15 alternative fates for woody biomass residues in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, comparing them to common practices of on-site combustion and decomposition. Using a "post-harvest to grave" life cycle approach, the study evaluates carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, carbon monoxide, and fine particulate matter (PM2.5). The findings indicate that displacing fossil fuels with biomass residues generally reduces net GHG emissions, while industrial facilities with emission controls significantly reduce CO and PM2.5 compared to uncontrolled on-site burning.

This document is a submission from Eskom to Working Group 5 of the SABS Sub-Committee 146A regarding the setting of Minimum Emission Standards. The proposal, adapted from European Union Directive 2001/80/EC, outlines Eskom's recommendations for emission monitoring, reporting, and compliance assessment, specifically tailored for the power generation sector in South Africa.

The document is an annual emissions report for the Kriel Power Station covering the 2015/16 financial year (1 April 2015 to 31 March 2016), submitted to the Department of Economic Development, Environment & Tourism.

This report by the World Resources Institute synthesizes findings from a review of major bus improvements in 13 cities across Latin America and Asia. It evaluates the benefits, challenges, and lessons learned regarding the planning, implementation, and operation of bus systems, specifically focusing on Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) to provide recommendations for urban transport planners in developing nations.
