Tackling short-lived climate pollutants in Africa
The Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) is a global effort that unites governments, civil society organisations and the private sector in their commitments to improving air quality and protecting the environment from the impact of climate change. The CCAC aims to reduce short-lived climate pollutants across sectors. The coalition also acts as a catalyst to create, implement and share immediate solutions addressing climate change with the aim of improving people’s lives rapidly and ensuring sustainable development for future generations. To find out more about the CCAC and its efforts, SciDev.Net spoke with Alice Akinyi Kaudia, environment secretary in Kenya’s Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources, who was on 17 April elected as a co-chair of the CCAC steering committee.
