Short-lived Climate Forcers Workshop
Technical Workshop on Science and Policy of Short-lived Climate Forcers
September 9-10, 2011, Mexico City
Objectives of the Workshop
| - | To discuss the role of Short-Lived Climate Forcers (SLCF) on near-term climate protection and clean air benefits; |
| - | To identify emission sources and mitigation strategies of SLCFs that could be addressed at international, regional and local levels; |
| - | To promote interaction, share best practices and facilitate future collaboration among the interested partners in SLCFs; |
| - | To discuss and develop plans for future activities, especially in the Latin American region. |
Structure of the Workshop
The technical workshop is divided into five main sessions:
| Session 1: | Challenges and opportunities for near-term climate protection and clean air benefits |
|
| - | Integrating climate and air pollution policies through short-lived climate forcing agents. |
|
| Session 2: | Emissions sources and mitigation strategies implemented in selected regions |
|
| - | Recent developments in science and policy in different emissions sectors; case studies implemented in selected region around the world. |
|
| Session 3: | Impacts of SLCF and co-benefits of mitigation |
|
| - | Impacts on climate, human health, crop production, energy efficiency |
|
| Session 4: | International cooperation and financing mechanisms |
|
| - | Cooperation and support mechanisms at regional and global scales available to assist national and regional implementation of mitigation options. |
|
| Session 5: | Panel discussion of leading international experts and national policy makers in the Latin American region | |
| - | What implementation options and mechanisms are available? | |
| - | How far will the different cultural and economic circumstances and governance structures of different countries require different approaches? | |
| - | How far are the necessary measures already being implemented in different areas, and how far could further implementation assist national priorities as well as contribute to international objectives? | |
| - | What sort of cooperation and support mechanisms at regional and global scales would assist national implementation in the region? | |
| - | What are the future research priorities to reduce uncertainties in taking action? |
