What can we do to reduce black carbon?

This little-known pollutant is making us sick and driving the
climate crisis. It commonly comes from burning coal, diesel or
wood and has a habit of getting stuck in people’s lungs as well
as causing glaciers to melt. In Nepal, home to some of the
world’s most beautiful glaciers, we meet journalist Tulsi
Rauniyar, who tells us all about the impact black carbon is
having on women and children. She meets Tenzing Chogyal Sherpa, a
glacier expert who maps the ice losses in the Himalayas. Zerin
Osho from the Institute for Governance & Sustainable
Development helps us understand why black carbon is so important
- but often forgotten - in the fight against climate change, and
how we can change that. Got a question you’d like answered?
