Climate Change Conference (COP28) on Sunday, aims to further cooperation among jurisdictions that administer and regulate key sources of methane, including agriculture, energy and landfills, per the initiative.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Going forward, the 15 signatories of the coalition have committed to sharing goals and best practices geared toward minimizing methane \u2014\u00a0a short-lived pollutant that is 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTackling methane emissions is one of the best investments we can make to fight climate change now and produce benefits in the near future to leave a better planet for generations to come,\u201d Liane Randolph, chair of the California Air Resources Board, said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Randolph stressed the importance of partnering with subnational governments across the world to find solutions for mitigating methane, which accounts for nearly 30 percent of current global warming.<\/p>\n<p>The day prior to the subnational coalition launch, the Biden administration announced\u00a0new methane reduction regulations, which the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said could prevent 58 million tons of emissions from 2024 to 2038.<\/p>\n<p>The rule would aim to achieve this target through policies focused on curbing leaks, while also phasing out flaring \u2014\u00a0burning off excess gas \u2014 in new oil wells.<\/p>\n<p>The EPA\u2019s announcement occurred as COP28 began in Dubai, where the U.S. is seeking to demonstrate its efforts to combat climate change and urge other countries to get on board.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>While crediting the Biden administration\u2019s progress on the issue, California officials had emphasized the\u00a0critical role subnational governments\u00a0could also play in climate talks, just prior to their departure for COP28 last week.<\/p>\n<p>Formalizing the role of subnational entities, they explained, could help reinforce the commitment of the U.S. to climate action \u2014 regardless of who is at the helm of the federal government.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to California, the two other North American members of the Subnational Methane Action Coalition are the state of Colorado and the Canadian province of British Columbia.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The 12 other partners include Queretaro and Yucatan, Mexico; Gauteng, South Africa; Espirito Santo, Rio Grande do Sul and Pernambuco, Brazil; Cross River State, Nigeria; Delhi, India; Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg, Germany; Santa Cruz, Bolivia; and Gyeonggi, South Korea.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe certainly don\u2019t think we have it all figured out in California,\u201d Wade Crowfoot, secretary of the California Natural Resources Agency, said during a Monday Zoom webinar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut as the world\u2019s fifth largest economy, believe it or not, California has a really influential role,\u201d Crowfoot continued. \u201cSo when we\u2019re leaders fanning out across this huge conference, that\u2019s the message we\u2019re sending.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Inc.
