Air pollution (aerosols, ozone, and other species) is deeply interconnected with climate change and meteorological extremes through coupled physical, chemical, and dynamical processes, with significant impacts on ecosystems, economies, and public health. Shifts in pollutant and aerosol emissions — from industrial activity, wildfires, dust, and vegetation — can influence climate change and modulate weather extremes such as global and regional warming, hydroclimate shifts, heatwaves, extreme precipitations, cold surges, and atmospheric stagnation. In turn, the changing climate and meteorological conditions alter the occurrence, intensity, and composition of air pollution events and aerosol emissions.

This session invites contributions that:

• Quantify their historical and projected changes from local to global scales;

• Identify co-occurrence and compounding of pollution and meteorological extremes;

• Investigate underlying mechanisms of these interactions;

• Assess associated societal, health, and ecological impacts.
