Getting methane under control: Paper policies, practical measurements, and the urgent need to verify emissions

Abstract

The rise in methane emissions threatens the Paris Agreement’s aspirations to limit the increase in global average temperature. Now, in a One Earth review, Olczak et al. point to significant gaps in policies to reduce methane emissions. Much more needs to be done for effective methane mitigation.
