The Kingdom
has expressed its intention to join the US and EU led initiative to reduce
global methane emissions by 30 percent by 2030, which was agreed on at the
COP26 climate summit, according to Al Ghad.
The countries
that will join the pledge commit to a collective goal of reducing global
methane emissions by at least 30 percent from 2020 to 2030, moving towards
using the best inventory methodologies available.
The amount of
methane emission in Jordan from waste tops 78 percent, leading the Ministry of
Environment to work with other ministries and concerned authorities in this
regard, including the Ministry of Local Administration and the Greater Amman
Municipality to reduce waste, Shaqareen said.
He said these projects
will lower methane gas production in Jordan to below 30 percent. Methane is one of the greenhouse gases responsible
for global warming, methane is emitted from oil and coal industries and farming
and animal husbandry, although methane does not last as long in the atmosphere
as CO2.
Reducing methane
emissions can have a rapid impact in limiting global warming and its impact on
the global climate.
