1 Air pollution and climate change Short lived climate forcers Øystein Hov

2 Is it useful to control short-lived climate forcers?

3 UNEP and WMO 2011 – Integrated Assessment of Black Carbon and Tropospheric Ozone: Summary for Decision Makers. Temperature evolution for the scenarios

4 Methane measures suggested to be effective

5 Black Carbon Measures suggested to be effective

6 Global benefits from full implementation of identified measures in 2050/2030 compared to reference scenario UNEP and WMO 2011 – Integrated Assessment of Black Carbon and Tropospheric Ozone: Summary for Decision Makers.

7 Can we trust in these results? Emission scenario uncertainty? Impact calculation uncertainty Black Carbon forcing range assumed 0.3-0.6 Wm -2 (being on the high side of model results) Estimated RF effect of the CH4 & BC measures O 3 0.18 / CH 4 0.21 / BC 0.14 Wm -2 Only two models used (GISS, ECHAM) and simplified temperature response function

8 Meteorologisk Institutt met.no Contributions from European countries to Arctic pollution (2006)‏ Secondary inorganic aerosols: SO4, NO3, NH4 Primary PM25
