“Although Net Zero targets focus on CO2 emissions, combating methane emissions is also a critical activity to slow rising temperatures. Methane is 80 times as effective in trapping heat as CO2, but has a much shorter atmospheric lifetime (around seven to 12 years compared to centuries). Acting quickly to reduce methane emissions from anthropogenic sources would therefore have an immediate impact on slowing global heating and improving air quality. It has been estimated that readily achievable methane emission reductions could deliver nearly 0.3°C of avoided warming over the next two decades.”
