Global Methane Pledge
Environmental risk management - Conference of the Parties - emissions - Climate and Clean Air Coalition.
(GMP).
Participating countries joining the Global Methane Pledge agree to take voluntary actions to contribute to a collective effort to reduce global methane emissions at least 30 percent from 2020 levels by 2030.
"Methane is a powerful but short-lived climate pollutant that accounts for a third of net warming since the Industrial Revolution.
Rapidly reducing methane emissions from energy, agriculture, and waste can achieve near-term gains in our efforts in this decade for decisive action and is regarded as the single most effective strategy to keep the goal of limiting warming to 1.5˚C within reach while yielding co-benefits, including improving public health and agricultural productivity."
