Black carbon resources and insights

Welcome to the Black Carbon Hub, a one-stop shop for the latest evidence, resources and news on the potent super pollutant. You'll also find the latest efforts and solutions from the climate and clean air communities.

Why black carbon?

Black carbon, or soot, is one of the short-lived climate pollutants, or super pollutants, that are collectively responsible for half of global warming. Black carbon also pollutes the air, contributing to the millions of premature deaths from fine particulate matter and billions of economic costs each year.
