greenhouse gas emissions come from industry. To achieve net-zero economy-wide emissions by 2050 and limit global warming, industrial emissions must drop while still meeting societal needs. Energy efficiency can reduce energy inputs and lower cost differences between electricity and natural gas.

As with the last summit, the risk continues to be that greenwashing leaves governments with “a vision that tinkers around the edges,”rather than a transformative one that creates food systems that are resilient and restore ecosystems,” as Shefali Sharma, director of the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP), warned at COP27.

Methane is a component of natural gas. Hence, most of it comes from natural gas industries and agriculture. Some people still deny that greenhouse gases are culpable for climate change and global warming. We have to start eagerly working towards actively cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
