Integrated Assessment of Air Pollution and Climate Change for Sustainable Development in Africa - Summary for Decision Makers

The Integrated Assessment of Air Pollution and Climate Change for Sustainable Development in Africa is the result of a scientifically underpinned process aimed at catalyzing and supporting transformative development in Africa. It examines the role that short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs; see Box S1.), greenhouse gases (GHGs), and other polluting emissions play in sustainable development. It analyzes strategies, policies, and measures to mitigate these pollutants while supporting development and human health and wellbeing in Africa as the continent adapts to climate change and pursues its sustainable development objectives over the next four decades.
