How African perspectives are powering progress on regional methane mitigation
When we talk about climate change in Africa, methane is rarely at the center of the conversation. It often takes a back seat to carbon dioxide and other more visible environmental issues such as water scarcity, flooding, erosion, desertification, deforestation, and biodiversity loss. Nevertheless, methane is quietly doing damage in…
