The Heat You’re Not Counting: Super Pollutants and the Net Zero Gap
Wednesday, July 16, 2025, 12:00PM UTC+7:00
While most corporate climate strategies focus on reducing carbon dioxide, few address the most powerful—and overlooked—drivers of near-term global warming: super pollutants like methane, black carbon, and HFCs. These fast-acting pollutants trap significantly more heat than CO₂ in the short term and are responsible for nearly half of today’s global warming.
For businesses across Asia, where climate risk, regulatory shifts, and supply chain complexity are accelerating, targeting super pollutants offers a strategic opportunity to:
- Accelerate climate impact by prioritizing investments that slow the rate of warming now
- Reduce near-term, climate-related business risks while pursuing long-term CO2 reduction
- Future-proof climate strategies now, in advance of new reporting standards
Join the Global Heat Reduction Initiative’s Executive Director, Kiff Gallagher, on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, at 12:00pm UTC+07:00 for an in-depth discussion on how companies can align their climate impact strategies with near-term horizons and realistic corporate planning timeframes.
A live Q&A session will follow the discussion.
Who should attend?
- Business leaders and decision-makers in the private, public and NGO sectors
- Leaders and designers of climate action plans, carbon emissions management and/or net zero targets
- Anyone interested in reducing climate super pollutants and joining the heat reduction community
- Sustainability professionals of all kinds
