Scientific understanding behind the development of integrated co-benefits strategies

摘要

Given that tropospheric ozone contributes to radiative forcing, crop yield losses, health and corrosion impacts, as well as reduction in net primary productivity, reducing the uptake of CO_2 by vegetation, there is a clear argument that all measures to reduce ozone will be a benefit for the global climate, crop yields and human health.rnMethane is an ozone precursor as well as the second most important GHG. Therefore, reducing methane emissions will have a beneficial effect on radiative forcing and ozone formation, which would become apparent within a fairly short time scale given the relatively short residence time of methane in the atmosphere.
