Scientists Propose Urgent Three-Step Plan to Cut Methane Emissions

New strategy emphasizes immediate action on methane to rapidly reduce global warming.

Methane is the second most potent greenhouse gas, contributing significantly to global warming.
Researchers outline three critical steps: reduce emissions, coordinate efforts, and incentivize abatement.
Only 2% of global climate finance currently targets methane reduction, despite its cost-effectiveness.
A new tool helps identify the most effective methane abatement measures for different countries.
Public engagement and lifestyle changes, such as reducing beef consumption and composting, can also help.
