\nStatement 2 is correct, while statement 1 is incorrect.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– Statement 1 is incorrect. The Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) to Reduce Short-Lived Climate Pollutants is a voluntary partnership of governments, intergovernmental organizations, businesses, scientific institutions, and civil society. It was launched in 2012 by Bangladesh, Canada, Ghana, Mexico, Sweden, the United States and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). It is not an initiative of the G20 group of countries.
\n– Statement 2 is correct. The CCAC focuses on reducing short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs), which have a strong impact on both climate and air quality. The main SLCPs targeted by the coalition are methane, black carbon, and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). Reducing these pollutants can have rapid climate and health benefits.
\n<\/section>\n
\nSLCPs like black carbon and tropospheric ozone contribute significantly to warming, while methane is a powerful greenhouse gas. HFCs are used as refrigerants and propellants and are also potent greenhouse gases. Reducing these pollutants is seen as a way to achieve near-term climate benefits and improve air quality, complementing efforts to reduce long-lived greenhouse gases like CO2.
