Faster action on this decade is essential for limiting near term warming.

Our new report assesses emissions, targets, and policies for 72 countries that account for over 90% of global methane emissions.

It finds 81% of countries in our study include methane in their NDCs, but only 16% have adopted methane reduction targets.

You can explore national methane emissions, targets, and policies in our Global Methane Explorer: https://methane-explorer.climateanalytics.org/

But existing tech and demand reduction can cut emissions in these sectors, writes our CEO Bill Hare on Climate Home News
