In November 2023, European Union (EU) policymakers agreed on new legislation to reduce methane emissions from the energy sector.

Ground-level ozone is an invisible air pollutant that causes significant damage to crops worldwide.

The Methane Matters project is a coalition of non-governmental organizations working to significantly reduce methane emissions in the agriculture, waste, and energy sectors by 2030.

Ambitious measures to tackle ozone precursors could reduce impact on forests by 30 per cent. This would boost biomass growth and significantly enhance carbon storage.
