The Global Methane Pledge aims to reduce global anthropogenic methane emissions by 30% by 2030 relative to 2020 levels. With agriculture contributing nearly half of global methane emissions, reducing emissions from this sector is crucial to achieving climate goals. Methane’s short atmospheric lifetime and high global warming potential make rapid reductions an essential strategy for both near-term climate benefits and long-term sustainability.
