What happened
The United Nations Environment Programme released findings that 163 companies have joined its methane-reporting program, representing 43 percent of global oil and gas production. The report noted that more than half of global gas and oil production remains outside this reporting framework. These findings were released weeks before COP31 climate talks began in Antalya, where reducing methane emissions is a key priority.
Why it matters
The report indicates that while tracking methane emissions is possible, a significant portion of the oil and gas industry lacks formal measurement and reporting. This occurs as COP31, hosted in Antalya, addresses global climate targets, which are influenced by preparatory discussions held in Bonn.
COP31 negotiations are being hosted in Antalya, contributing to global climate targets. Talks are underway in Bonn, setting the stage for the COP31 climate summit in Antalya, with key discussions including the tripling of adaptation finance targets.
