"At its core, catalytic capital aims to unlock impact and draw in additional investment that would not otherwise be possible, resulting in the strengthening of communities and seeding and growing social innovation using multiple tools and approaches.

Non-CO2 super pollutants, including methane, black carbon, and Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), possess a brief lifespan in nature. Although their annual emissions are significantly lower than CO2, they contribute to 40% of the greenhouse effect, resulting in global warming. Due to their substantial impact and short lifespan, reducing the emissions of super pollutants holds the potential to swiftly mitigate global warming.

The CCAC actively works to reduce these potent, short-lived pollutants through immediate actions, aligning with the objectives of the Paris Agreement. Furthermore, it aims to support global economic development, health objectives, and food security goals through the following strategies:
 
'''Collaboration with major short-lived climate polluters''' and other stakeholders from around the globe to support, empower, and catalyse emission reduction action.
 
'''Enhancement of technological and administrative capabilities''' to facilitate the exchange of information, experiences, and skills, fostering climate change mitigation actions.
 
'''Advocacy''' for the inclusion of short-lived climate pollutants in policy discussions at all levels of government, businesses, and civil societies.
 
'''Mobilization of financial resources''' to facilitate the effective implementation of transformative and replicable actions.
 
'''Advancement of scientific understanding''' to assist decision-makers in scaling up actions and highlighting the numerous benefits of addressing short-lived climate pollutants.
 
The CCAC's initiatives have yielded notable successes, such as '''the reduction of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)''' used in refrigeration and air conditioning. The global warming potential from releasing a single 30-pound HFC tank is equivalent to the CO2 emitted by driving over 14 additional cars annually. The coalition played a crucial role in the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol, aiming to decrease HFC production and consumption by 80% before 2046.
 
Additionally, the CCAC serves as the secretariat for the '''Global Methane Pledge''', launched at COP26 in 2021. With member governments representing over 50% of global human-caused methane emissions, these members commit to voluntary national actions, aiming to reduce collective methane emissions by 30% below 2020 levels before 2030. To support this ambitious pledge, the CCAC introduced the Methane Roadmap Action Programme (M-RAP), facilitating coordinated and accelerated progress in identifying and developing relevant methane-targeted measures and supporting policies.
 
The CCAC stands as a testament to the effectiveness of international collaboration in addressing the intricate challenges posed by climate change. By emphasizing practical and immediate solutions, the coalition significantly contributes to the broader efforts to combat climate change, serving as a model for effective and inclusive climate action.

Environmental risk management - Conference of the Parties.

(CCAC).

Author: Charitarth Sindhu', Environmental Sustainability & ESG Consultant.

The Climate and Clean Air Coalition stands as a global initiative combating climate change, formed voluntarily in 2012 by nations such as the United States, Canada, Mexico, Sweden, Ghana, and Bangladesh, in partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). Presently, it comprises more than 160 government and non-state members, united in their mission to combat short-lived climate pollutants, often referred to as super pollutants or forcers.

Non-CO2 super pollutants, including methane, black carbon, and Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), possess a brief lifespan in nature. Although their annual emissions are significantly lower than CO2, they contribute to 40% of the greenhouse effect, resulting in global warming. Due to their substantial impact and short lifespan, reducing the emissions of super pollutants holds the potential to swiftly mitigate global warming.

The CCAC actively works to reduce these potent, short-lived pollutants through immediate actions, aligning with the objectives of the Paris Agreement. Furthermore, it aims to support global economic development, health objectives, and food security goals through the following strategies:

Collaboration with major short-lived climate polluters and other stakeholders from around the globe to support, empower, and catalyse emission reduction action.

Enhancement of technological and administrative capabilities to facilitate the exchange of information, experiences, and skills, fostering climate change mitigation actions.

Advocacy for the inclusion of short-lived climate pollutants in policy discussions at all levels of government, businesses, and civil societies.

Mobilization of financial resources to facilitate the effective implementation of transformative and replicable actions.

Advancement of scientific understanding to assist decision-makers in scaling up actions and highlighting the numerous benefits of addressing short-lived climate pollutants.

The CCAC's initiatives have yielded notable successes, such as the reduction of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) used in refrigeration and air conditioning. The global warming potential from releasing a single 30-pound HFC tank is equivalent to the CO2 emitted by driving over 14 additional cars annually. The coalition played a crucial role in the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol, aiming to decrease HFC production and consumption by 80% before 2046.

Additionally, the CCAC serves as the secretariat for the Global Methane Pledge, launched at COP26 in 2021. With member governments representing over 50% of global human-caused methane emissions, these members commit to voluntary national actions, aiming to reduce collective methane emissions by 30% below 2020 levels before 2030. To support this ambitious pledge, the CCAC introduced the Methane Roadmap Action Programme (M-RAP), facilitating coordinated and accelerated progress in identifying and developing relevant methane-targeted measures and supporting policies.

The CCAC stands as a testament to the effectiveness of international collaboration in addressing the intricate challenges posed by climate change. By emphasizing practical and immediate solutions, the coalition significantly contributes to the broader efforts to combat climate change, serving as a model for effective and inclusive climate action.
