The Fastest Ton: Making Super Pollutants Core to Your Decarbonization Roadmap

How should companies prioritize superpollutant reduction alongside long-term decarbonization roadmaps? What strategies and market mechanisms help businesses take meaningful action, and how can they evaluate integrity in a nascent credit market?

Methane, refrigerants, nitrous oxide, and black carbon are responsible for roughly half of today’s warming, yet most corporate climate programs treat them as secondary to CO2. That’s beginning to change: super pollutants is increasingly viewed as an “emergency brake” for near-term warming, and a consortium of major corporations recently committed $100M to accelerate action globally. This 90-minute session opens with an overview of what super pollutants are and why they matter, then moves into practical Scope 1, 2, and 3 strategies companies can act on now, including lifecycle refrigerant management, supplier engagement, and the role of emerging carbon credits. The session will conclude with case studies and a discussion on scaling solutions across industries and sectors with case studies from successful implementations.
