Through the Africa assessment the Coalition will develop a scientifically robust and policy-relevant integrated assessment with African stakeholders from 2019 to 2021. Results from the assessment will provide a framework for national and local actions and will underpin regional co-operation on measures to reduce near-term warming and air pollution impacts.

This assessment is particularly significant to the region, as emissions of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) are relatively high due to the dependence on solid fuel for cooking, the largest controllable source of black carbon emissions, and the open dumping of waste, a major source of methane emissions.
