The USAID ECO-Asia Clean Development and Climate Program has just released a new report on Black Carbon Emissions in Asia, which addresses the following issues:
1. What are the properties of black carbon as a contributor to global warming, and what are the direct and indirect impacts of black carbon with respect to global warming, natural ecosystems, human health, or other considerations?
2. What are the principal sources of black carbon emissions in Asia, both in terms of types of activities generating emissions and the location of these activities?
3. What are the most immediate opportunities for reducing black carbon emissions in the Asia region and for mitigating the impact of those emissions in Asia, and what are the major obstacles to pursuing these opportunities?
