The Agricultural Methane Gap: Recommendations for the Global Stocktake

The document highlights a significant shortfall in agricultural methane mitigation, noting that while the Global Methane Pledge aims for a 30% reduction by 2030, current NDCs and national plans may only achieve an 8% reduction. It argues that dietary shifts and sustainable farming are essential to avoid a 2°C warming impact driven by food consumption patterns.

• There is a substantial gap between current national commitments and the Global Methane Pledge's target of a 30% reduction in global methane emissions by 2030. Analysis indicates that current NDCs and national action plans may only lead to an 8% reduction, leaving a 22% gap, although a 32% reduction is technically possible if all measures are implemented.
