Alongside general contributions, this year we also propose a focus on the importance and impact of aerosols in future climate scenarios. As we move towards a net-zero society, there is increasing pressure to reduce global carbon emissions. Across the world, multiple countries have begun to make ambitious commitments, including decarbonisation of multiple sectors. However, we need to avoid the unintended consequences of ‘carbon myopia’, where changes in policy lead to both desired and unexpected changes in atmospheric composition and thus impacts on multiple earth systems and human health. We thus invite submissions that fall within this broad topic. This could include:
• Evaluating the performance of current aerosol parameterisations in global climate models.
• Aerosol-cloud interactions and radiative transfer.
• Development of new methods to fuse heterogenous data sources with process models for improved climate projections.
• Advances in sampling technologies for source and process apportionment.
• Co-benefits assessment of clean air and carbon emission reduction for ecosystems and health under climate change.
