It focuses on fast actions to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) including methane, black carbon, HFCs and tropospheric ozone.    More information on the CCAC is available at: www.ccacoalition.org  Indonesia joined the CCAC in 2025 to step up its ambition to combat short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs). As a member of the Global Methane Pledge, Indonesia is working towards the collective goal of reducing global methane emissions by at least 30% from 2020 levels by 2030.  Indonesia is one of the first countries to receive support under CCAC’s Super Pollutant Country Action Accelerator (“the Accelerator”), a new 3-year programme to help the government drive deep and sustained reductions in super pollutant emissions.
