Black Carbon Issues: A Meeting

Completed

In October 2012, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and the Russian Academy of Sciences held a workshop in Moscow, Russia, on the Challenges of Black Carbon (BC). More than 50 Russian and American scientists and specialists participated. The participants addressed many areas of scientific interest regarding BC dispersal, particularly in the northern latitudes, and called for continued cooperation between the academies on BC-related issues. Russian and American participants agreed that future collaboration was essential and that joint contributions toward curbing fossil fuel emissions and mitigating its effects could be significant.

Description

An ad hoc committee will organize a joint workshop with the Russian Academy of Sciences to review current scientific and regulatory activities in Russia and the United States concerning black carbon emissions and to identify possible opportunities for enhancing these activities in Russia, drawing on international experience as appropriate. A rapporteur authored Meeting in Brief will be issued.
