This high-level event hosted by CEBRI (Brazilian Center for International Relations) and the Clean Air Fund will highlight opportunities for tackling short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs or “super pollutants”, such as methane, black carbon and tropospheric ozone), which cause severe impacts on climate, health and the economy. It will bring together key leads especially from governments, civil society and the private sector to recommend actions for COP30 to advance the reduction of super pollutants and their effects. 

Reducing these pollutants can have direct benefits for climate change, prevent millions of premature deaths from air pollution and avoid massive economic losses from crop damage - making action in this direction crucial alongside with carbon reduction strategies. The event will showcase international best practices and underline opportunities for cooperation on this agenda at COP30 and beyond.

ABOUT THE CLEAN AIR FUND & CEBRI COLLABORATION

Clean Air Fund and CEBRI are collaborating to raise awareness of the importance of integrating air pollution into climate discussions at COPs and beyond. The aim is to highlight the impacts of super pollutants on human health, the environment, and the economy, and to discuss ways to tackle the issue.
