00:00:00 - 00:00:00

The YouTube video "E se você pudesse agir pelo clima e salvar vidas?" discusses the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC), a global initiative formed in 2012 by seven partners to address short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs), including black carbon and methane. These pollutants can save up to 2.5 million lives and reduce over 30 million tons of crop losses annually while curbing climate change by up to 0.5 degrees Celsius. The CCAC, the first collective effort to address this urgent issue, has grown rapidly and aims to reduce SLCPs through various means, such as improving stove and brick factory efficiency, harvesting methane as fuel, and preventing oil and gas distribution leakages. The speaker emphasizes the availability of technology to address these pollutants and the need for political will to act. The CCAC is making progress through high-level political support, financing, awareness-raising, and new partnerships, offering quick wins in the short term and long-term benefits, including reducing global warming and boosting food security. The speaker encourages support for the CCAC and action on reducing SLCPs for a sustainable future. Learn more about the CCAC at www.un.org/CCAC.

• 00:00:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "E se você pudesse agir pelo clima e salvar vidas?", the speaker discusses the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC), which was formed in 2012 by seven partners to address the issue of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs). These pollutants, including black carbon and methane, can save nearly 2.5 million lives and reduce global crop losses by over 30 million tons a year while also curbing climate change by up to half a degree Celsius. The CCAC is the first global effort to act on this urgent issue collectively, uniting governments, companies, and civil society. The coalition has grown rapidly, with a sevenfold increase in less than a year, and aims to reduce SLCPs through various means such as improving stove and brick factory efficiency, harvesting methane as a fuel, and preventing leakages from oil and gas distribution. The speaker emphasizes that technology exists to address these pollutants, and the will to act is needed. The CCAC is rolling out fast action, leveraging high-level political will, catalyzing financing, raising awareness, and forging new partnerships to address SLCPs worldwide. The coalition offers complementary quick wins in the short term, especially in sensitive regions like the Arctic, and can help reduce global warming and boost food security. The speaker encourages support for the CCAC and action on reducing SLCPs for a sustainable world now and into the future. Learn more about the CCAC at www.un.org/CCAC.
