Global emissions report calls for faster action on methane

A new report from the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) warns that global efforts to curb methane emissions remain behind target despite recent progress. In parallel, the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI) has launched a ‘playbook’ based on satellite data to help oil and gas operators turn methane emissions detection into faster, more effective abatement.

More ambitious climate action needed from the fossil fuel industry

The climate crisis requires a substantial reduction in fossil fuel use over the next 30 years, says Fred Krupp, President of the Environmental Defense Fund. What’s more, there is a crucial need for the oil and gas sector to reduce methane emissions as well as CO₂.

Paris Agreement will reverse emissions growth after 2030, shows NDC analysis – plus pre-COP report roundup

Based on the latest NDCs, nationally determined contributions, the UN Climate Change Secretariat has forecast that total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2035, including from countries that have not submitted NDCs, could decrease by 12% compared to 2019 levels with land use, land-use change and forestry. Without land use, land-use change and forestry, emissions would drop by 7% compared to 2019 levels. Before the adoption of the Paris Agreement, emissions were projected to increase by between 20% and 48% compared to 2019 levels.
