1. IntroductionClick to copy section linkSection link copied!Reducing anthropogenic methane (CH4) emissions─in addition to carbon dioxide mitigation─is necessary to limit global warming to the critical threshold of 1.5 °C (1) and to significantly slow the rate of warming in the near term. (2) A robust measurement-based understanding of the sources and magnitudes of CH4 emissions can accelerate mitigation and can help reliably track changes in emission over time.
