""I sincerely hope that the discussions we will have today will enable us to join our forces to accelerate the implementation of effective solutions to reduce methane emissions.""
""Of course, action on methane is not a fight of any single actor and nobody can win it alone.""
""Yet there is still no sign that methane emissions from fossil fuel operations are falling, despite well-known and proven mitigation pathways.""
""Methane emissions from the energy sector come from leaks from gas pipelines and other infrastructure, or is deliberately released during maintenance procedures.""
France, as G7 chair, is advocating for urgent global measures to cut methane emissions, particularly from the fossil fuel sector, which contributes significantly to climate change. At a Paris conference, officials and experts gathered to prepare for the upcoming COP31 summit. Methane's warming effect is substantially more potent than CO2, yet the world is lagging in meeting the Global Methane Pledge to reduce emissions by 30% by 2030. The International Energy Agency reports that emissions from fossil fuels remain alarmingly high, with no signs of decline despite available mitigation strategies.
