A critical emergency brake
Reducing superpollutant emissions can deliver climate and health benefits fast, because most superpollutants remain in the atmosphere for a relatively short time. Scientists project that acting now can limit peak warming by up to 0.1°C, buying critical time for the broader work of decarbonization.
Superpollutants have been largely overlooked in corporate climate strategies – even as they continue to harm our planet, health, and the air we breathe.
Beyond is working to change that.

In partnership with êffecterra, we are working to identify and mobilize investment opportunities in Scope 3 refrigerant decarbonization.

Why superpollutants?
Superpollutants—including methane, HFCs, black carbon, nitrous oxide, and tropospheric ozone—are responsible for roughly half of today's warming, trapping heat more effectively than CO₂. They harm our health and pollute the air we breathe, causing premature death and damaging crops.
Proven solutions already exist – and research shows that cutting superpollutants could prevent millions of premature deaths and protect ten million tonnes of crops by 2050.
This is why we are working to unlock superpollutant action—because the opportunity is right now, and we can’t afford to wait.
