Rezumat

The inventory of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) such as black carbon (BC), methane (CH4), ground-level ozone, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) is an important task under the Supporting National Action and Planning Initiative (SNAP) of the Climate and Clean Air Coalition. The SLCPs are responsible for up to 45% of global warming and have a strong impact on climate change and human health. The rising of the global temperature affects the soil aridity, agriculture and ecosystems productivity, intensifying the heat waves. These effects are emphasized in Moldova. Evidently, SLCPs affect public health. Since SLCPs contribute to ambient levels of ozone and PM2.5 are directly associated with cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, including heart disease, pulmonary disease, respiratory infections, and lung cancer. The SLCPs emissions thus contribute significantly to the more than 7 million premature deaths annually linked to air pollution. The project “Institutional strengthening support to scale up action on short-lived climate pollutants in Moldova” started on February 2019 with the aim of inventory of the SLCPs under the coordination of the Ministry of Agriculture, Regional Development and Environment, and the support of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC). The project is hosted by the Institute of Chemistry ensuring the investigations, researches and coordination of key actors’ actions for reducing the air pollution, especially, the SLCPs by further promoting the proposals for policy development and measures to reduce air pollution at the national level. It also aims to increase the ability of the government to participate more actively in the different activities and in the decision-making processes of the UNEP and CCAC. The emissions inventory is done via the European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme (EMEP) for monitoring and evaluation of the long-range transmission of air pollutants (guidebook 2016). The projections of emissions will be done using the Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning (LEAP) - Integrated Benefits Calculator (IBC) as the integrated planning tool which helps to assess greenhouse gases, short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) and EMEP emissions, building mitigation scenarios and monitoring the climate, health and crops benefits.
