Understanding Methane's Role in Climate Change: Sources, Impacts, and Mitigation Strategies
CLIMATE POLICY, REGULATION & CARBON MARKETS
Methane (CH4) is a potent greenhouse gas, with a global warming potential 25 to 84 times greater than carbon dioxide (CO2) over different periods. Despite its shorter atmospheric lifespan of about 12 years, its impact on climate change is significant.
As methane often takes a backseat to CO2 in climate discussions, urgent action to reduce methane emissions is crucial for achieving immediate climate benefits. This article explores the importance of addressing methane emissions in the fight against climate change.
