What is the news?
At the recent G20 Summit, the International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO) was launched.
About International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO)
Launched by: UN Environment Programme (UNEP) with support from the European Union
Objective of the IMEO
The observatory aims to provide credible data to track countries progress on meeting methane reduction pledges and to promote best practice.
It will initially focus on methane emissions from the fossil fuel sector and then expand to other major emitting sectors like agriculture and waste.
It will also monitor commitments made by countries in the Global Methane Pledge, a US- and EU-led effort to slash methane emissions by 30% by 2030.
