Contribution to the COP 30 Presidency Roadmap on the Transition Away from Fossil Fuels in a Just, Orderly and Equitable Manner.

EIA's response focuses on three critical issues to the integrity and effectiveness of the revised Governance Regulation: avoiding deregulation, preserving the EU Methane Regulation, and  strengthening Member States planning, reporting and monitoring of fossil fuel consumption and production. 

The story of textile waste is not just about discarded clothes – it’s about a global system that shifts the burden of pollution from rich nations to poorer ones under the guise of charity and recycling.

Launched at CoP26 in 2021, the Global Methane Pledge (GMP) is the first global initiative focused on reducing emissions of methane - a super-pollutant responsible for about one-third of current warming.

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.
