In particular, there has been a greater realisation that some air pollutants also act as short-term drivers of global warming.

One way that European policy seeks to connect climate and air quality policies is through the inclusion of methane and black carbon (short-lived climate pollutants) in the proposed EU Clean Air Policy Package.
