This document discusses short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) such as black carbon, methane, tropospheric ozone, and hydrofluorocarbons. These agents have a relatively short lifetime in the atmosphere but a strong warming influence on climate. The document outlines the sectors that produce various SLCPs like residential and industrial sources of black carbon in India. It notes that reducing SLCP emissions through available technology and mitigation efforts can significantly decrease global warming in the short-term while longer-term greenhouse gases are addressed. The document calls for actions to reduce SLCPs from municipal waste and brick production.
