Efforts to set methane targets with the goal of \u201cno additional warming\u201d and some other related terms with this tool are underway.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Some governments with comparatively high livestock emissions &#8211; including Ireland and New Zealand &#8211; are exploring using this tool in policy, in order to justify lower climate ambition. Agribusiness lobby groups are escalating their campaign in New Zealand, where a decision on adjusting the country\u2019s methane target is imminent. Ireland is closely following developments in New Zealand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Changing methane metrics in this way would undermine equity by allowing large livestock-exporting and producing countries to maintain untenable levels of methane and livestock herds and disadvantage many middle and low-income nations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Methane\u2019s atmospheric concentration is rising exponentially. CH4 is now 265% higher than pre-industrial levels. It is presently responsible for about one third of observed global warming. According to IEA\u2019s Methane Tracker 2024, 39% of anthropogenic methane comes from agriculture (primarily livestock) and 41% from the energy sector.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cNo additional warming\u201d promotes the flawed idea that current agricultural methane emissions are \u201cacceptable\u201d and should simply be maintained &#8211; despite scientific consensus that existing high levels of methane are accelerating global heating and must be reduced.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If governments adopt this tool, it could derail global climate targets, weaken the Paris Agreement and lead to accelerating global heating.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The discussions on agriculture in SB62 in Bonn and discussions on 2035 climate targets provide an opportunity for policymakers to push back against the use of GWP* and no additional warming in climate and methane policy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a
