Abstract

The climate crisis is also a public health crisis, and methane, due to its impact on warming and air quality, threatens human health. Cutting methane is the quickest, most effective way to address climate change while delivering significant near-term health benefits.

Solutions exist today to help cut methane emissions. Identifying and quantifying the health benefits from methane reductions can support countries, communities and companies as they take action. Environmental Defense Fund convened a series of dialogues to discuss opportunities to advance methane mitigation strategies that improve health in the three major methane-emitting sectors agriculture, oil and gas and waste. This report is a summary of those discussions.
