1. Welcomes the EU strategy to reduce methane (CH4) emissions as it is the second biggest contributor to the climate change after CO2; underlines that according to the UNEP´s Global Methane Assessment (2021) “reducing human- caused methane emissions is one of the most cost-effective strategies to rapidly reduce the rate of warming and contribute significantly to global efforts to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C”; supports a clear pathway and legislative framework to addresscut methane emissions in a more comprehensive fashion and across Europe, by fostering synergies between sectors to strengthen the business call sectors, including energy, waste and agriculture as more than half of global methane emissions stem from human activities in these sectors with fossil fuels accounting for 35% of human-caused emissions, waste for 20% and agriculture for 40%; whereas in the EU the biggest sources of anthropogenic methane emissions are gas & oil sector (16 %), waste for captursector (28 %) and agriculture (54%); Believes that the legal framework should include binding methane emissions; reduction targets;
