The results are in and - people want action on climate. Check out this excellent survey from Global Methane Hub taking pulse on climate from around the globe.

No matter where people live in the world, the reality of climate change hits home. We commissioned an international public opinion survey conducted in 17 countries and found that 1 in 4 survey respondents indicated that climate change has an extreme impact on their life – and even more people report deep concerns about wildfires, heatwaves, worsening water quality, and a host of other environmental issues in their communities. The vast majority of respondents in the countries surveyed – 82% overall – support action to curb harmful methane emissions. We need to unite to catalyze climate action and reduce methane pollution for a chance to save our climate within our lifetime. Read more at https://lnkd.in/gBEF_trm

Climate change is being felt more in developing countries. One of every three people say they have felt extreme effects. They are those who support mitigating methane the most. It’s the fastest way to reduce warming, so this means the work by GMH and our partners has great support. Importers of oil and gas support import standards. Citizens from exporting countries support methane regulations and fees. And countries with increasing waste, support laws that ban organic waste disposal to landfills. Political commitments on methane have resounding citizen support. Never a better time to act.

Wetlands Play a Crucial Role in Global Greenhouse Gas Budgets Wetlands can be both a source and sink for greenhouse gases. While they emit gases when disturbed, they also store carbon and prevent its release into the atmosphere. Be a Responsible Steward: Protect Wetlands from Disturbance, no doubt this will mitigate climate change and support a healthier planet.

Burning forests contributes to climate change by releasing stored carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This amplifies the greenhouse effect, leading to global warming. To curb this, enforcing stricter regulations against deforestation, promoting sustainable land management practices, and supporting reforestation efforts are crucial steps. Additionally, educating communities on the importance of preserving forests and using alternative methods for land clearance can help mitigate the impact on climate change.

No matter where people live in the world, the reality of climate change hits home. In Global Methane Hub's new international public opinion survey conducted in 17 countries, 1 in 4 survey respondents indicate that climate change has an extreme impact on their life – and even more people report deep concerns about wildfires, heatwaves, worsening water quality, and a host of other environmental issues in their communities. This much is clear: We must unite to catalyze climate action and reduce methane pollution for a chance to save our climate within our lifetime. 👉 Read more: https://lnkd.in/g7A3PMxx

Slash and burn farming exacerbates the issue of climate change by releasing large quantities of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. When vegetation is burned, it releases stored carbon back into the air, contributing to the greenhouse effect and global warming. As we combat the effects of climate change on a global scale, it is essential to transition to agricultural practices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote carbon sequestration.

🌍 How Composting Combats the Climate Crisis 🌍 Landfilling food scraps produces 20 times the CO2e emissions (as methane) compared to composting. Landfills are the third-largest source of human-related methane emissions globally. 🏭 Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes significantly to global warming. By composting our food scraps, we can significantly reduce methane emissions and help combat climate change. Choosing composting over landfilling is a simple yet powerful way to make a positive impact on our environment. 🌿 #ClimateCrisis #Composting #SustainableLiving #MethaneEmissions #HeliopolisUniversity #SEKEM #EnvironmentalImpact #GreenInitiatives #EcoFriendly #WasteManagement

🌍 Breaking Down the EU Strategy on Methane Emissions 🌍 The EU's plan to tackle methane emissions is a crucial step in the global fight against climate change. Methane, being a potent greenhouse gas, poses serious challenges, but with clear strategies in place, we're moving closer to a more sustainable future. Check out this insightful breakdown of the EU's approach and learn how it impacts industries and policy-making. Let's work together for a greener planet!

A product CO2 footprint (or product carbon footprint) tells you how much global warming your product causes throughout its life cycle. But dig deeper – and you find many more environmental crises worth caring about. That’s why next to product CO2 footprints, there are also product environmental footprints. Environmental footprints cover 15+ different impact outcomes (e.g. water scarcity, land use, health endangerment, etc.) – including CO2 emissions.
