Mitigating Methane a Global Health Strategy — Overview

The report outlines how methane contributes to global warming and ground-level ozone, leading to significant respiratory and cardiovascular health risks. It identifies agriculture, energy, and waste as the primary anthropogenic sources of methane and advocates for both transformational system changes and near-term technical solutions to reduce emissions and improve public health.

• Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to 45 percent of global temperature increases since the industrial revolution and can trap 25 times more heat than carbon dioxide over a century.
• Anthropogenic methane emissions are primarily driven by three sectors: agriculture (over 40%), energy (35%), and waste (20%).
