Methane emissions remain overlooked in the EU and to highlight this issue, EIA has now co-created the Methane Matters coalition, together with experienced European NGOs
Parties to the Montreal Protocol met in Canada in the treaty’s home city for the 46th Open-Ended Working Group (OEWG46) to consider a range of important issues related to the protection of the ozone layer and global climate system.
What is methane and why care? Methane is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG) with significant environmental and health impacts. It warms the planet around 30 times more than Carbon Dioxide over a 100 year period and over 80 times more over a 20 year period.
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is the most significant ozone-depleting substance (ODS) in the world today and is projected to remain so throughout the 21st century. It is also the third most important greenhouse gas (GHG), being 273 times more potent than carbon dioxide (CO2) on a tonne-for-tonne basis over a 100-year period.
