Webinar: Clearing the Air: Integrating Black Carbon & Air Quality into NDCs
Date: Friday, 11 July 2025
Time: 14:00–15:30 CEST (Paris time)
Location: Online (MS Teams link)
This session is part of the CCAC’s NDC 3.0 sectoral webinar series, which supports countries in enhancing their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) by integrating measures targeting short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) such as black carbon. The webinar will spotlight priority sectors – transport, residential, and waste – while also exploring the health and climate co-benefits, MRV tools, and finance options for action.
