The pledge is a voluntary agreement to reduce global methane emissions by 30 percent below 2020 levels by 2030; however, methane levels keep going up and we are woefully off track for meeting this goal. Compared to carbon dioxide (CO2), methane doesn’t linger for long in the atmosphere after being emitted.
