The COP29 Presidency aims to advance efforts to reduce methane emissions, Azerbaijan's Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources, COP29 President Mukhtar Babayev said this during his speech at the COP29 Summit dedicated to methane and non-carbon greenhouse gases, APA reports.
"The data shows that to achieve the target of reducing the temperature by 1.5 degrees, we need to reduce emissions by 42 percent by 2030. Action to reduce non-CO2 greenhouse gas emissions is crucial to meet this deadline. They make up almost a third of man-made greenhouses. By increasing ambition and action on climate change, this year's COP29 Presidency aims to advance efforts to reduce methane emissions. Above all, this means building on the work of previous Conferences of the Parties (COPs). We hope that all other countries will join this initiative and raise their methane emission targets. Signing the commitment is just the beginning. We must support these ambitions with real action," added the COP29 President.
