This factsheet contributes to the roundtable “Advancing Super Pollutant Reduction Policies Towards COP30”, which brings together leaders from Brazilian ministries and international delegations to discuss the importance of policies aimed at tackling super pollutants (or Short-Lived Climate Pollutants – SLCPs, such as black carbon, tropospheric ozone, and methane), sharing international experiences in this field and exploring opportunities for cooperation at COP30 and beyond. The document outlines global policies for super pollutant reduction and highlights opportunities for Brazil to integrate climate, health, and air quality actions in the lead-up to COP30.

Topics Covered:

1. Global Landscape of Super Pollutants Reduction Policies
   Examples of policies in Canada, Chile, Indonesia, and the United States.
   
2. Common and Distinctive Elements in Super Pollutant Policies
   Integration of climate, health, and air quality agendas; variations by country and sector.
   
3. Levels of Government Engagement
   Coordinated actions across national, regional/state, and municipal/local governments.
   
4. Benefits of an Integrated Approach
   Climate, health, energy, and economic advantages.
   
5. Global Success Cases in Black Carbon Reduction
   Initiatives in Nordic countries, Chile, India, and Indonesia.
   
6. Promising Areas for COP30 Negotiations
   Opportunities for Brazil to lead with its forthcoming National Plan on Super Pollutants.
