Project description

The project, financed by the European Commission and managed by the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program (AMAP) aimed to support the process of setting clear commitments and/or targeting major black carbon sources with the potential to affect the Arctic. The objective was to move forward a process to enhance international cooperation on black carbon policy in the Arctic region. 

There were four major work components in this project:

• Improving the knowledge base on black carbon emissions,
• Increasing awareness and sharing knowledge,
• Preparing technical advice documents and scenario analyses, and
• Supporting the development of a roadmap for international cooperation on black carbon
