The High Level Assembly of the Climate and Clean Air Coalition to Reduce Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (CCAC) took place on Wednesday, 20 May 2015 in Geneva, Switzerland. Approximately 120 participants attended the meeting.
The key issues considered included a framework for the CCAC 5-Year Strategic Plan. The High Level Assembly endorsed the framework (HLA/MAY2015/03), which will be developed into a detailed implementing and planning instrument. The objective is to launch the plan at the next High Level Assembly that will be held on the margins of the 21st session of the Conference of Parties (COP 21) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), to be held in Paris, France, in December.
The HLA also requested the Scientific Advisory Panel to provide an analysis to underpin the ambition of the Plan, building on existing science, to quantify the achievable multiple benefits of fast action on SLCPs.
Other issues on the agenda included an update on progress, including the CCAC’s achievements to date and the launch of a new report by the Black Carbon Finance Study Group. Partners also reported on national progress in addressing SLCPs, highlighting, inter alia, efforts to improve air quality and reduce local air pollution. Delegates also considered the Lima-Paris Action Agenda and support for the “Road to Paris” strategy prepared by the CCAC Working Group. The meeting emphasized the need to carry to COP21, the message that “quick action brings quick results.”
The Assembly welcomed the Philippines as a new partner, bringing the total number of CCAC partners to 104.
