Climate and Clean Air Conference 2024

Sixth Session of the United Nations Environment Assembly

Background

The Climate and Clean Air Conference 2024 aims to gather the CCAC’s 86 State Partners and 83 Non-State Partners. The purpose is to engage in discussions regarding the most recent science and policy, exchange best practices, and formulate a collective agenda in crucial emitting sectors such as agriculture, waste, fossil fuels, household energy, heavy-duty vehicles and engines, and cooling.

There is a need to make big changes to slow down the climate crisis, reduce air pollution, and address poverty and inequality that affect the most vulnerable. The world is facing ecological limits, causing multiple crises that threaten public health, food security, jobs, and ecosystems.

The CCAC works at the nexus of climate and air quality to deliver multiple benefits from the fast mitigation of short-lived climate pollutants. Driven by policy-relevant science.

Objectives:

1. High-level plenary sessions on global, regional and national efforts to reduce methane, black carbon and HFCs, including the benefits of fast action, national policy and planning, and financing for implementation.
2. Science Policy Dialogue sessions on emerging science and how new information can inform policy development.
3. Technical sessions among CCAC Sector Hub members to showcase best practices in key emitting sectors: agriculture, cooling, fossil fuels, heavy-duty vehicles and engines, household energy, and waste.
4. Practical sessions to further refine work plans among CCAC National Consultants, Non-State Partners, and Scientific Advisory Panel Members.
