The ACP Advisory Group agreed to 1) finalize the work plan by the end of August; 2) form a small group to work collaboratively on projects focusing on short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs); and 3) share progress on those collaborative projects during the next ACP Advisory Group meeting at the 2012 Better Air Quality (BAQ) conference in December 2012 in Hong Kong, China.
