New UN report: Difficult to limit global warming to 1.5°C by 2050 from methane emissions

Research by a UN agency says the world is destined to fail to achieve the targets agreed four years ago, despite available technology and clear incentives.

Methane emissions around the world are still rising despite a global pledge agreed in 2021 by several countries, the COP30 climate summit has warned, putting a critical target for mitigating climate change at great risk.

The findings are the subject of the Global Methane Status Report 2025, produced by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC).

Together they explain that while progress has been made on the methane front, the world will struggle to limit global warming to 1.5°C between now and 2050 unless it tries to reach its targets faster.

Methane is a non-carbon greenhouse gas that comes from fossil fuel production or livestock digestion and is a significant contributor to global warming. The International Energy Agency (IEA) says the gas is responsible for about 30% of the increase in global temperatures since the industrial revolution./CNA
