As Nigeria continues to grapple with the impact of global warming and climate change, environmental experts have advised the government and other stakeholders to make deliberate efforts to abate methane emission and other greenhouse gases for a cleaner environment and safer existence.
They noted that human activities (Anthropogenic Sources) contribute about 60% of methane emission, stressing that collective efforts to abate it would be critical to achieving the 1.5°C warming pathway, avoiding the worst effects of climate change and achieving Nigeria’s target of reducing methane emissions by 45% by 2025 and 60-75% by 2030.
The experts stated this in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State capital, during a roundtable discussion on “Methane Abatement in Nigeria: A Special Focus on Anthropogenic Sources of Methane Emission,” which was jointly organized by the Environmental Centre for Oil Spill and Gas flaring (ECOSGF); African Initiative for Transparency Accountability and Responsible Leadership, (AfriTAL); Peace Point Development Foundation (PPDF) and sponsored by TrustAfrica.
