To provide more context on the methane emissions opportunity, the United Nations Environment Programme, under the auspices of the Italian G20 Presidency, organized a workshop in collaboration with the European Commission and the International Energy Agency (IEA) to highlight the inextricable link between energy and climate change with the aim of achieving ambitious emissions reduction goals.
The closed one-hour workshop, targeted at G20 representatives, briefed participants on the methane emissions problem and how the G20 can solve it, with a focus on fossil fuel emissions. Following interventions by leading methane experts, G20 member countries were invited to participate in a dialogue to discuss methane emissions and engagement with the International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO).
The outcomes of this workshop will help to identify concrete actions the G20 can take to address barriers and accelerate methane emissions reductions.
