Study: Achieving the Global Methane Pledge would bring US$1tn in annual savings
"The benefits consistently outweigh the costs under a wide range of scenarios."
An economic assessment of global methane abatement has found that meeting the Global Methane Pledge to cut methane emissions by 30% by 2030 would result in US$1 trillion in annual savings.
In an academic study published this week in the journal Science, researchers demonstrate that, even using conservative assumptions about costs, âthe benefit-cost ratio of methane action is at least three â rising to more than six when health co-benefits are includedâ. This means that methane action would pay for itself at least three, and up to six times over.
