Support to the Climate and Clean Air Co-alition (CCAC)
The Climate and Clean Air Coalition is a leading global multistakeholder partnership bringing together states and intergovernmental and non-governmental organisations to jointly tackle the challenges of climate change and air pollution. Switzerland actively supports the Coalition, sharing its experiences garnered both nationally and through its international cooperation in order to assist low- and middle-income countries in implementing the most effective emission reduction strategies that yield multiple benefits for sustainable development.

Contexte | Air pollution is estimated to cause the premature death of approximately 7 million people every year worldwide. At the same time, the impacts of climate change are being increasingly felt across the globe, with an average temperature increase of 1.1°C since pre-industrial times. The Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) seeks to accelerate efforts to reduce the emissions of a subset of pollutants at the intersection of these two challenges – known as short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs: methane, black carbon, hydrofluorocarbons and ozone), in addition to efforts to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2). These pollutants remain in the atmosphere for a shorter period of time than CO2 but have a significant warming effect on the climate, while having negative impacts on human health, food security and the environment. The CCAC brings together around 70 countries and 80 non-state partners to find the most effective solutions for reducing pollutant emissions in key-emitting sectors, such as agriculture, transport, waste management or cooling. | |
Objectifs |
|
|
Groupes cibles | The CCAC’s target audience are policy makers globally (for its advocacy work) and in low- and middle-income countries (for its technical and capacity building support). The ultimate beneficiaries are populations affected by and vulnerable to climate change, indoor and outdoor air pollution, and agricultural losses. | |
Effets à moyen terme |
The CCAC’s 2030 Strategy sets out three key directions: Outcome 1: Driving an Ambitious Agenda to secure high-level ambition in jointly tackling climate change and air pollution Outcome 2: Supporting National & Transformative Actions to reduce the emissions of short-lived climate pollutants at scale in key emitting sectors Outcome 3: Advancing Policy-Relevant Research and Analysis to provide decision-makers confidence to make ambitious commitments and take fast action |
