The study highlights that methane emissions are rising at an unprecedented pace, primarily driven by industrial activities in China and Southeast Asia, with significant contributions from coal mining, oil and gas production, and livestock farming.
Pep Canadell stated that increases in methane emissions are primarily linked to activities like coal extraction and landfill management in China and Southeast Asia, undermining global climate goals.
Rob Jackson expressed concern that the Global Methane Pledge goals seem distant, especially in light of the fact that major emitting countries have not signed on, including China, Russia, and India.
Recent data shows that in the past five years, methane concentrations have surged faster than during any previous period since record-keeping began, jeopardizing efforts to limit global warming.
