Short But Mighty : The Story of Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (Part 1)
Description
In this episode of the Climate Conundrum Podcast, hosts Sanika Diwanji and Zerin Osho, Director for the India Program at the Institute for Governance and Sustainable Development, delve into the often overlooked but critical topic of non-CO2 emission, that are categorised as Short Lived Climate Pollutants (SLCPs), and their impact on climate change. While CO2 often takes the spotlight in climate discussions, SLCPs like methane, black carbon, and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) also play a crucial role in global warming. Reducing these pollutants can deliver rapid climate benefits, improve air quality, and protect public health.
