More than 150 countries have signed the pledge to reduce the emission of methane gas. More than 50 of these countries had signed the letter in 2021 when this pledge was taken. India and China have not yet signed this resolution, while China is the largest methane emitter in the world.

 

It is necessary to reduce the emission of harmful gases

Most of this gas is emitted from the excreta and urine of living beings. According to the resolution, the emission of this harmful gas will be cut by 30 percent by the end of the current decade. It is believed that to keep the temperature of the atmosphere at 1.5 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to reduce the emission of harmful gases.

 

Support sought at Glasgow Environment Conference

The US and the European Union (EU) sought the support of the world by presenting a global methane resolution paper at the Glasgow Environment Conference in 2021. US Deputy Special Envoy for the Environment Rich Duke has said that 95 percent of countries have committed to the resolution. They have pledged to make efforts to reduce methane emissions. We hope that China and India will also sign the resolution letter soon.
