Explore why methane emissions are rising faster than projected, what this means for climate targets, and cost-effective strategies for methane mitigation. IIASA Senior Research Scholar Lena Höglund Isaksson will participate as a speaker.
Three critical actions to slow global warming
This complementary, interactive event builds on a Frontiers in Science lead article outlining recent growth in methane emissions and three “imperatives” for reversing this, to keep climate targets in reach and mitigate health and agricultural impacts.
The article authors, including Lena Höglund-Isaksson, IIASA senior research scholar in the Pollution Management Research Group of the Energy, Climate, and Environment Program, and other experts will discuss options and strategies for methane abatement, including cost-effective technologies, systemic changes, and policy measures.
Participants will have the chance to pose questions to the speakers.
