Webinar content: What was achieved on methane at COP31? What new plans, priorities and initiatives emerged? Where was progress not as hoped? And what should be prioritised looking forwards? To be held just a few days after the conference, this webinar will explore these and a range of other questions on methane at COP31. We will start with remarks from Tabea Pottiez of Deutsche Umwelthilfe and Henrique Bezerra of the Global Methane Hub, before then having a wide-ranging discussion.
