Overview
This grant supports the Environmental Defense Fund’s scoping study of agricultural methane reduction opportunities in the Global South. EDF will use this project to identify the main levers in China, and within major developing economies, to significantly reduce agricultural methane emissions, both within and across the national borders. This work will unveil in-depth analysis and solutions for three key barriers for agricultural methane mitigation in the Global South: (a) a lack of political will and global momentum, (b) insufficient research and development investments in technical solutions; and (c) insufficient funding and support for deployment and solution adoption in developing countries.
