Global Methane Pledge

Urban Farm DB summary

Launched at COP26 in 2021 by the EU and the US, the Global Methane Pledge is a voluntary initiative to cut global methane emissions at least 30% below 2020 levels by 2030, with 159 participating countries plus the European Commission. Methane is described as responsible for 30% of total warming since the Industrial Revolution, and without action, emissions are projected to rise by up to 13% between 2020 and 2030.
