The CCAC's Scientific Advisory Panel will host its first virtual Science Policy Dialogue on Monday, 22 June 2020, under the theme "Catalyzing 2030 Mitigation Ambition – Methane."
This event will bring together scientists, policymakers, practitioners, and regulators to review methane emissions reduction potentials and the ways methane mitigation can be leveraged to drive ambitious action this decade.
Discussions will focus on the opportunities and barriers for mitigating global emissions in the three main emitting sectors: agriculture, oil and gas, and waste.
Registration is required to participate in the question and answer sessions. If you do not plan to participate, you can watch a live stream of the event on YouTube.

About the sessions
Each session will begin with a short overview presentation by a member of the CCAC Scientific Advisory Panel, covering the emissions trends and the available technical, non-technical and behavioural mitigation measures available within the 2030 timeframe. This will be followed by one or two presentations by policymakers with expertise in the sector, and will showcase the regulatory, economic, and other mechanisms available to policymakers to support implementation of those measures at the scale necessary to achieve the Coalition’s mitigation objectives by 2030.
Each session will conclude with a moderated discussion amongst an invited panel of scientific, technical and policy experts.
