CO 2 is Only Part of the Story UNEP & WMO (2011) Reduction of CO 2 emissions does not help to mitigate climate change until 2050. Reduction of emissions of BC and CH 4 will bring a relatively rapid climate response. Decrease of SLCPs coupled with CO 2 could lead to both the midterm (2030-50) mitigation of climate change and the 2 capping in 2100.
Black Carbon (BC) Diesel PM Identified as Prime Candidate for BC Control: A Leading environmental cause of poor health and premature death As a warming agent: Absorbing solar radiation and converting it to heat Increasing the melting rate of ice and snow CCAC (2014)
Tropospheric Ozone (O 3 ) O 3 is a secondary gas (not directly emitted). Tropospheric O 3 is formed by sunlight-driven oxidation of precursor gases (CH 4, CO, NMVOCs, and NO x ). Tropospheric O 3 is also an important GHG Tropospheric O 3 is a serious health hazard and adversely affects the growth of certain crops. CCAC (2014) Differences as O 3 precursors: CH 4 and CO are important for tropospheric O 3 on global scale. NO x and NMVOCs are more important for high regional O 3.

China Is Stimulating Electric Vehicle Sales New Residential Complexes Must Include Charging Stations For Electric Cars More Public Parking Spaces (10% On Average) Must Be Reserved For Plug-in And Hybrid Vehicles For All Public Street Side And Large Building Parking Spaces A Forthcoming Regulation Will Address Inconsistencies In Technical Standards For Charging Such Vehicles. The Government Also Will Require On Average One Charging Point For Every 2,000 Vehicles.
