We Don't Have Time and the Climate and Clean Air Coalition presents
We Don’t Have Time and UNEP's Climate and Clean Air Coalition are proud to present Action for Climate and Clean Air, a series about non-CO2 pollutants and how we can fast-forward actions.
Short-lived climate pollutants, also known as super pollutants, are the “other half” of global warming. But because most of them last for a relatively short time in the atmosphere, urgent action to cut them could be an “emergency brake” at a time when the 1.5 C safety limit is under threat. Stepped up action on these pollutants, which include methane, black carbon or soot, hydrofluorocarbons, tropospheric ozone or smog and nitrous oxides, could not only help the world to halve climate emissions by 2030 and meet the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement in its 10th anniversary year. It could also provide a big boost against health-hazardous air pollution, crop losses and the poisoning of natural systems.
What is not to like about this? So, settle back, enjoy, urge your elected officials to get engaged and take action yourself.

We Don’t Have Time and UNEP's Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) are proud to present “Accelerating Action on Super Pollutants: The Road to COP30”.
It is a new three-part series shot in Brasilia in late March, in advance of the next, critical UN climate conference to be held in Belem, Brazil in November 2025.
This latest three-part series, filmed against the backdrop of Brazil’s most famous architect Oscar Niemeyer’s iconic post war buildings, involves interviews, debates and a field trip to an inspiring waste pickers project filmed during the CCAC’s annual conference of governments, UN officials, scientists, experts and grassroots organizations.
Short-lived climate pollutants, also known as super pollutants, are the “other half” of global warming. But because most of them last for a relatively short time in the atmosphere, urgent action to cut them could be an “emergency brake” at a time when the 1.5 C safety limit is under threat.
The thread running through this series is the inordinate opportunity for action in 2025 if, as nations revise their climate plans or NDCs in advance of a September deadline, short lived pollutants are woven into these plans. Stepped up action on these pollutants, which include methane, black carbon or soot, hydrofluorocarbons, tropospheric ozone or smog and nitrous oxides, could not only help the world to halve climate emissions by 2030 and meet the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement in its 10th anniversary year.

In this first episode, we look at the latest science and get a status report on the NDCs that have published, whether they are including super pollutants or not.

In the second episode, we will look at the indispensable role of government policy and see where it is heading alongside key opportunities emerging to ramp this up. As nations revise their climate plans or NDCs in advance of a September deadline, short lived pollutants are woven into these plans. We also look at how we can increase ambition in the Montreal Protocol and Paris Agreement.

In the third episode, we will look at waste and agriculture and we will broadcast our field trip to an inspiring waste pickers project.
Episode 3 will go live on April 24 at 15:00 CEST / 9:00 am EDT.
Speakers:
Organizers:
Join us as we introduce our global campaign to intensify focus on cutting short-lived climate gases – giving us the time we need to transition our economies and keep 1.5 alive.
Speakers:
Organizers:
Join us as we explore solutions to drastically reduce the methane leaks from fossil fuel exploration, production, and transportation.
Speakers:
Organizers:
In 1987, the world united under the Montreal Protocol to phase out freons and nearly 100 other chemicals that were destroying the ozone layer. With the support of a special international fund and unprecedented public-private cooperation, the treaty was a massive success: 99% of ozone-depleting substances have been eliminated, and the ozone layer is now healing.
We can do this again. We can unite the world to create a Montreal Protocol for methane and other short-lived climate pollutants.
Speakers:
Organizers:
The IEA estimates that 40 million tonnes of methane leaked from global operational coal mines in 2023. This means coal mines’ leaks of methane are equivalent to almost 3,500 million tonnes of CO2 each year.
Join us as we explore solutions to drastically reduce the methane leaks from coal mines around the world.
Speakers:
Organizers:
Landfills emit large amounts of methane when organic waste such as food scraps, wood, cardboard paper and garden waste decompose in the absence of oxygen.
Join us for expert discussion on how to drastically reduce methane emissions from landfills and waste sites around the world.
Speakers:
Organizers:
Join us for talks with movers and change-makers on how to collaborate on climate – and how to seize the opportunities as we transition to net zero.
Speakers:
Organizers:
The two challenges, resilience and methane cuts. Join us for a discussion on how to rapidly reduce methane emissions from the agriculture sector.

Up to half of the current global warming is caused by powerful, short-lived pollutants. This big problem is also a huge opportunity. If we rapidly get rid of these pollutants, we could reduce 0,5 °C of warming.
In this session, we’ll hear from experts and policymakers representing the host countries for the upcoming UN Climate Conferences COP29 and COP30 on how to make this happen.

We Don’t Have Time and UNEP's Climate and Clean Air Coalition are proud to present Action for Climate and Clean Air – Fast-Forwarding a Better Future, a series of 3 episodes about non-CO2 pollutants and how we can fast-forward actions.
The three-part series will interview experts and policymakers attending the Climate and Clean Air Conference being held in Nairobi, Kenya from 21 to 24 February, to take stock of progress on the non-Carbon Dioxide pollutants (sometimes called super pollutants) and more importantly how to significantly fast forward action. Stepped up action on methane, black carbon or soot, hydrofluorocarbons and low-lying ozone could help the world to halve climate emissions by 2030, meet the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement and provide a big boost against health hazardous air pollution, crop losses and the poisoning of natural systems.
In this first episode, we are going to look at the latest science while checking out some of the technological solutions being fast forwarded by governments and the private sector.

In this third episode, we will look at mobilizing the creative finance to help action against non-CO2 pollutants happen.
Speakers:
Organizers:
Methane is responsible for a third of total warming since the Industrial Revolution and is 86 times more powerful than CO2 at warming the atmosphere over a 20-year timeline. The fossil fuel, waste, and agriculture sectors are the main methane emitters from human activities.
So what can we do about this? How do we finance the solutions, and what are the hopes for progress during COP28?
Join us for a session with four expert panelists who will look at this issue from different perspectives.
