Ozone levels across much of North America and Europe dropped significantly between 2000 and 2014. People living in parts of southern Europe, South Korea and southern Japan and China also experienced more than 15 days a year of ozone levels above 70 ppb. Source: University of Leicester.

The decrease in CO 2 equivalent emissions of ODSs (ozone-depleting substances: CFCs, halons, HCFCs, and others) may be offset by the projected increase in their non-ozone depleting substitutes (HFCs) (lines designated as HFC scenarios).

Shipping-induced global temperature change in 2050 using different parameterizations of Indirect Aerosol Effect (IAE). A recent study by an international team calculated that shipping causes a net cooling of climate across all parametrizations of the indirect aerosol effect (IAE) and scenarios throughout the period 1900?

HFCs are powerful greenhouse gases originally developed as substitutes for ozone-depleting chemicals. By 2050, HFC emissions could equal up to 19% of global CO 2 emissions under business-as-usual scenarios. million people a year, global action to cut soot emissions would reap major benefits for both public health and climate.

Global emissions were growing by 1.1% per year from 2000-2007. The developing and least-developed economies, 80% of the world’s population, accounted for 73% of the global growth of emissions in 2004. Experts increasingly agree that active protection of tropical forests is a cost-effective means of cutting global emissions.
