Project description

Carbon Limits supported the collaborative effort of the Arctic Black Carbon impacting on Climate and Air Pollution (ABC-iCAP) project. The objective of the project was to assess the impact of black carbon and methane emissions on air quality and climate change in the Arctic region, and to support the reduction of these emissions through international collaboration, awareness raising, knowledge sharing, and capacity building. The project was intended to improve the knowledge base on black carbon emissions in specific regions and sources, as well as promote awareness on key abatement practices and measures. The effort also included identifying and taking actions to fill gaps in science and policies to reduce black carbon and methane emissions impacting the Arctic.

​

Carbon Limits supported the effort by participating in capacity building and outreach events and workshops, sharing technical expertise related to black carbon and methane emissions from the oil and gas sector, and reviewing work related to black carbon and methane emissions in the oil and gas sector under the socio-economic analysis. The Carbon Limits team also assisted with coordinating meetings, dialogue, and workshops with experts in the Russian-speaking countries (other than Russia itself, e.g., Central Asian countries).
