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.

EU increases Emissions Trading System (ETS) ambitions

Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) and European Union (EU) governments have agreed to reform the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) to further reduce industrial emissions and invest more in climate friendly technologies. Under the deal, emissions in the ETS sectors must be cut by 62% by 2030; free allowances to industries will be phased out from 2026 and disappear by 2034; and an ETS II for fuel emissions from the building and road transport sectors will be implemented in 2027.

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.
