The Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) has released, for public
review, a draft Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Strategy
(Draft Strategy).
Short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) include methane, black
carbon, and fluorinated gases. They are powerful climate forcers
that remain in the atmosphere for a much shorter period of time
than longer-lived climate pollutants, including carbon dioxide.
Their relative potency, when measured in terms of how they heat
the atmosphere, can be tens to thousands of times greater than
that of carbon dioxide. Senate Bill 605 (Lara, Chapter 523,
Statutes of 2014) requires ARB, in coordination with other state
agencies and local air districts, to develop a SLCP Strategy by
the end of 2015, to reduce SLCP emissions in California.
The Draft Strategy describes ongoing and potential new measures
to reduce SLCP emissions from major sources in the State, and
describes current and future research needs for improving the
SLCP emission inventory and better understanding potential
mitigation measures.
The Draft Strategy will be discussed at public workshops in
October. Comments received on the Draft Strategy will inform
the development of a Proposed Strategy, which will be will
presented to the Board in late 2015. ARB welcomes broad
participation of stakeholders, experts, and interested parties
throughout this process.
The Draft Strategy can be found at ARB's Short-Lived Climate
Pollutant website at:

The website also contains a link for submitting written comments
on the Draft Strategy.
