RT null T1 An Assessment of Emissions and Mitigation Options for Black Carbon for the Arctic Council: Technical Report of the Arctic Council Task Force on ShortLived Climate Forcers A1 Arctic Council, A2 DeAngelo, Benjamin A2 Dickson, Caroline A2 Toresen, Håvard A2 Abrahamsson, Reino A2 Chicherin, Sergey A2 Gamble, James A2 de Kerckhove, Diane A2 Eskebjerg, Carsten A2 Fenge, Terry A2 Gant, Erik A2 Geller, Michael A2 Kupiainen, Kaarle A2 Ragnauth, Shaun A2 Sarkkinen, Seppo A2 Sarofim, Marcus A2 Sasser, Erika A2 Terry, Sara A2 Vestreng, Vigdis PB Arctic Council YR 2013 FD 2013 LK https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/8671 UL https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/8671 NO This document is a policy-oriented technical report prepared under the Arctic Council’s Task Force on Short-Lived Climate Forcers, focused on reducing emissions of methane and black carbon to mitigate near-term Arctic climate change. It synthesizes scientific context on the role of these pollutants in accelerating Arctic warming and outlines evidence that immediate reductions can slow regional warming while providing health benefits. The scope encompasses emissions sources, mitigation technologies, and policy options, along with recommendations for Arctic nations and institutions to enhance mitigation practices, improve emissions inventories, and strengthen collaboration with international forums. The report positions short-lived climate forcer reduction as complementary to long-term carbon dioxide mitigation within broader climate policy frameworks.
