Prepared by the International Energy Agency (IEA) with contributions from GMI’s strategic partners for international collaboration, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and UNEP-Convened Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC), this report presents analysis to show a drop in fossil fuel demand would not cut methane emissions fast enough to meet the world’s climate goals. According to this report, decisive, far-reaching, and targeted actions to tackle methane emissions from fossil fuel production and use – such as by eliminating routine venting and flaring and repairing leaks – are essential to limit warming to 1.5 °C and reduce the risk of crossing irreversible climate tipping points.
