THE EU-FUNDED ACTION ON BLACK CARBON

The EU-funded Action on Black Carbon in the Arctic is an initiative sponsored by
the European Union to contribute to the development of collective responses to
reduce black carbon emissions in the Arctic and to reinforce international
cooperation to protect the Arctic environment. It provides and communicates
knowledge about sources and emissions of black carbon and supports relevant
international policy processes.

 * Supporting processes aimed at setting clear commitments and/or targets for
   reducing black carbon emissions from major BC sources (gas flaring, domestic
   heating, maritime shipping).
 * Enhancing international cooperation on black carbon policy in the Arctic
   region – with a special focus on supporting the work of the Arctic Council
   and Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution and other national,
   regional and international initiatives, and building strong collaboration
   with EU strategic partners

AMAP Secretariat is responsible for managing project implementation, and working
with the six implementing partners in the Action:

 * Carbon Limits, Norway
 * Environment Agency of Austria (EAA)
 * Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE)
 * International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA)
 * Norwegian Institute for Air Research (NILU)
 * Swedish Environmental Research Institute (IVL)


AN EU PARTNERSHIP ACTION

The EU-funded Action on Black Carbon in the Arctic is implemented through the EU
Partnership Instrument providing 1.5 million EUR of funding during 2018-2020.

DOMESTIC HEATING

Wood stoves and the burning of coal to heat homes emit black carbon to the
atmosphere and can be a health hazard.

GAS FLARING

Flaring is used extensively in the oil and gas industry to burn unwanted
flammable gases and a major source of black carbon emissions affecting Arctic
regions.

MARITIME SHIPPING

Expected increases in shipping in the Arctic could lead to much higher emissions
of black carbon in the Arctic than today.

DIESEL ENGINES

Diesel engines used in heavy road vehicles, ships and machinery constitute a
significant source of black carbon in the Arctic.

Learn More Learn more


OPEN BURNING

Wildfires and agricultural fires may be underestimated sources of black carbon
emissions that pollutes the Arctic

POLICY ACTION

The road towards reduced emission of black carbon include applying the best
available technologies and practices
