Methane Matters at COP27: The relevance of methane in climate action

One year after the Global Methane Pledge’s launch, it is time to ensure implementation and ambitious methane cuts. 

At this event, speakers will present measures which signatories can take to put in place effective methane mitigation policies in energy, agriculture and waste respectively, and the steps that need to be taken to build a new global agreement to ensure the implementation of the Global Methane Pledge and go beyond.
