Global Methane Pledge

The Global Methane Pledge is an international effort launched in 2021 to reduce methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas that contributes significantly to climate change. Countries participating in the pledge commit to collectively cutting their methane emissions by at least 30% by 2030, relative to 2020 levels. Methane is released from sources like agriculture, landfills, and fossil fuel production. By reducing methane emissions, the pledge aims to slow global warming, improve air quality, and protect ecosystems. It encourages governments, industries, and organizations worldwide to adopt cleaner practices and technology to achieve these targets.
