Enacting new policies can achieve benefits over the projected 23% reduction in Black Carbon as a result of ongoing efforts.
Black carbon (BC) deposits produced by human activity which accelerate the pace of glacier and snow melt in the Himalayan region can be sharply reduced through new, currently feasible policies by an additional 50% from current levels, new research by World Bank (WB) specialists has said.
