Air pollutants and climate effects come from the same sources, an observation that underpins a common argument that addressing air pollution and climate change have bi-directional co-benefits. Unfortunately, although emissions critical to air pollution sometimes come from sources that also contribute to global warming and vice versa, the overlap between the key sources of long-lived GHG emissions and the key sources of short-lived climate pollutants remains only partial, and policy makers who want to quickly prevent diseases and premature deaths associated with air pollution would focus on different sources than policy makers who prioritize low-carbon policies. The elimination of fuel combustion and reduction of fuel use always offer synergies between improved air quality and slower warming, but such elimination and reduction do not always prove the most effective and quickest ways to improve air quality.
