He also remarked that Methane is the cheapest and fastest way to slow down global warming in the years ahead and it is possible to reduce the accelerating global warming by doing simple proven things in agriculture, energy and waste sectors. Finally, Frans Timmermans called on all and the biggest methane emitters in particular, to work on and disclose their methane plans for the years ahead and ensure that methane emissions are fully accounted.Following his participation on the meeting, Frans Timmermans gave a press conference giving an overview of the COP27.This video shows the participation of Frans Timmermans and John Kerry, US Special Envoy for Climate, at the Global Methane Pledge Ministerial Meeting on keeping 1.5C within reach.
