Objective of the IMEO
-
The observatory aims to provide credible data to track the country’s progress on meeting methane reduction pledges and to promote best practices.
-
It will initially focus on methane emissions from the fossil fuel sector and then expand to other major emitting sectors like agriculture and waste.
-
It will also monitor commitments made by countries in the Global Methane Pledge, a US- and EU-led effort to slash methane emissions by 30% by 2030.
