Climate Day: Centering Short-Lived Climate Pollutants in Climate Action Strategy

As climate impacts accelerate, companies are increasingly focused on where their actions can deliver the greatest near-term climate benefit. Short-lived climate pollutants, including methane and refrigerants, are responsible for a significant share of near-term warming and represent one of the fastest opportunities to reduce heat in the climate system.

This session explores why centering short-lived climate pollutants within corporate climate action strategies is critical now. The conversation will examine where SLCP emissions show up across food and grocery value chains, how companies are identifying priority intervention points, and what it takes to move quickly from analysis to action.
