Mitigating methane emissions from all relevant sources is essential to comply with the Paris Agreement and to achieve the goals under the European Green Deal. Furthermore, it is an important component to reduce air pollution as methane is a precursor of harmful ground-level ozone. However, given the short-term lifetime of methane in the atmosphere, a significant reduction of methane emissions has short-term benefits for the climate \u2013 and the power to avoid reaching irreversible tipping points in climate change.<\/p>\n

Reducing methane emissions requires concrete reduction targets and binding legislation, especially from the agricultural sector, which contributes to about 55 percent of total EU methane emissions.<\/p>\n

At the EU level, several legislative instruments with potential to methane mitigation in agriculture are currently proposed or revised \u2013 the Methane Regulation, the Effort Sharing Regulation, LULUCF Regulation or the Industrial Emissions Directive.\u00a0 In addition, the Gothenburg Protocol addressing long-range transboundary air pollution is under review now. Moreover, the EU and signatory member states are working on concrete measures to fulfil their commitment under the Global Methane Pledge. This gives us the momentum to finally regulate agricultural methane emissions and integrate reduction obligations into EU policy.<\/p>\n

We invite you to discuss with us the current course for a sustainable reduction of agricultural methane emissions and take a look at the “Windows of Opportunity” that European policy is currently providing us.<\/p>\n
