- Increase understanding of how wildland fire management techniques, such as reducing or eliminating ignitions or prescribed burning for reducing fuel, can reduce black carbon emissions and the magnitude of these effects in order to support development of management strategies (AMAP 2021).
- Incorporate satellite monitoring and mapping of fires to monitor black carbon emissions (AMAP 2021, Paunu et al. 2023).
- A comprehensive assessment of the potential co-benefits and risks of this approach is needed.
- More data is needed on the potential impacts of black carbon reductions on the Arctic.
