Change in greenhouse gas emissions for selected countries under pre-2025 NDCs and through domestic implementation of the Global Methane Pledge, 2020-2030

Sources

Data for 2020 are economy-wide GHG emissions in 2020 using IEA data for energy-related methane emissions and EDGAR data for other GHG emissions.

Notes

GHG = greenhouse gas. Includes emissions for 65 GMP countries whose pre-2025 NDCs can be enhanced by incorporating the GMP target as a 30% reduction in domestic methane emissions. NDC estimates are based on the contributions set out by each country, according to their target type (i.e. relative, absolute, business as usual, intensity). One tonne of methane is considered to be equivalent to 30 tonnes of CO2 based on the 100-year global warming potential (IPCC, 2021).
