Climate Change Conference: COP29 Declaration for Methane Mitigation

The 29th session of Conference of Parties (COP) of United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), popularly known as 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference, which is being held from 11 November 2024 to 22 November 2024 in Baku, Azerbaijan has launched the “Reducing Methane from Organic Waste Declaration”.  

Initial signatories of the Declaration for Methane Mitigation include over 30 countries who combined represent 47% of global methane emissions from organic waste.  

The signatories have declared their commitment to set sectoral targets to reducing methane from organic waste within future Nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and to launch concrete policies and roadmaps to meet these sectoral methane targets. 

This decade is critical for climate action. This declaration helps in implementation of the 2021 Global Methane Pledge (GMP) which sets a global target of reducing methane emissions by at least 30% below 2020 levels by 2030. Organic waste is the third largest source of anthropogenic methane emissions, behind agriculture and fossil fuels. The GMP was launched at COP26 in the UK.  

The declaration has been developed with the UNEP-convened Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC).
