Global methane reductions pledge w/ James Shaw: November 4, 2021

New Zealand has joined an international pledge that promises to reduce methane emissions over the next decade but no methane reduction policies and targets would not be changed.

The pledge, which was announced earlier this week during COP 26 in Glasgow, promises to reduce global methane emissions by at least 30 percent from 2020 levels by 2030, but each country doesn’t have to meet that target individually.

Climate Change Minister James Shaw spoke to Justin Wong.
