The need to action
Since the 1970s warming ocean waters have melted a significant section of ice in the Amundsen Sea in the
Southern Ocean.
Warm weather is increasing the number and range of ticks, midges, and mosquitoes.
Short-lived climate pollutants can be dangerous air pollutants with harmful effects for public health,
ecosystems, and agricultural productivity. Acting now to reduce these pollutants contributes to meeting
the Sustainable Development Goals related to air quality, health, and food security
