Super Pollutants
Super pollutants—methane, black carbon, tropospheric ozone, and hydrofluorocarbons among others—have a powerful impact on the climate, driving near-term warming far more intensely than carbon dioxide. Their potency means urgent abatement of super pollutants is a critical lever for achieving global climate goals. Due to its low cost and availability of existing technologies, controlling super pollutants is a unique opportunity for decision-makers to deliver immediate impact.
CPI engages across sectors and geographies to identify cost-effective measures, mobilize finance, and design enabling policies that can deliver deep reductions in methane and other super pollutants while supporting long-term climate and development goals.

Fast-tracking finance to abate India’s SLCPs
Short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) like methane, black carbon, and HFCs drive warming and pollution in India. Targeted action can quickly benefit climate, health, and food security, but progress is slowed by funding gaps, weak policies, and poor data. To accelerate SLCP cuts, India must align policies, boost blended finance, and scale tech in agriculture, waste, and fossil fuels. Dedicated funds, pooled bonds, and stronger collaboration can unlock investment, cut emissions, and build resilience.

Waste not: Time to rapidly scale methane abatement finance in the waste sector
Methane has 86 times the warming potential of CO₂ over 20 years, and the waste sector accounts for 20% of human-caused methane emissions. Despite its significant role in climate change, methane abatement in the waste sector remains critically underfunded. In this blog, Dennis Zabeida and Pedro de Aragão Fernandes explore the challenges and opportunities in scaling methane abatement finance.
