تعهدات بخفض الميثان المؤدي إلى ارتفاع درجة حرارة الأرض

November 2, 2021 - الدول التي تنضم إلى التعهد العالمي بشأن خفض الميثان تلتزم بالعمل الجماعي بهدف الحد من انبعاثات الغازات الدفيئة في جميع أنحاء العالم بنسبة %30 على الأقل من مستويات العام 2020 بحلول العام 2030.

The pledge, launched at the COP26 summit in Glasgow on Tuesday after being announced in September, now covers countries representing nearly half of global methane emissions and 70 percent of global GDP, U.S. President Joe Biden said.

Among the new signatories was Brazil – one of the world’s five biggest emitters of methane.

China, Russia and India, also top-five methane emitters, have not signed on to the pledge. Those countries were all included on a list identified as targets to join the pledge, first reported by Reuters.
