Deadline: August 31st, 2021

The Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) funds projects that advance action to reduce short-lived climate pollutants.

The science is clear: we need to slow the rate of warming as soon as possible in order to limit the dangerous and irreversible impacts of climate change. Achieving this will require all countries and actors to take ambitious action to reduce short-lived climate pollutant (SLCP) emissions as quickly as possible.

The Climate and Clean Air Coalition’s Action Programme to Address the 1.5˚C Challenge helps countries accelerate actions to reduce these pollutants using an approach that integrates climate and clean air action. By focusing on actions that achieve both climate and clean air objectives, countries can help reduce the rate of near-term warming – which contributes to achieving the long-term Paris Agreement targets – while at the same time realizing immediate, local benefits for public health and supporting the attainment of many Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

To be eligible for consideration, projects must meet all of these conditions:
