US-Pakistan Green Alliance Workshop Targets Methane Emissions

Methane emissions from Pakistan's dairy industry pose a significant challenge for both climate change and the country's economy. To address this issue, a workshop organized by USAID recently convened stakeholders to develop a program aimed at reducing these emissions and aligning with global climate goals.

US Ambassador Donald Blome stressed the urgency of cutting emissions by nearly half by 2030 to meet these global targets. The workshop, a collaborative effort between the US and Pakistan, signifies a crucial step towards a more sustainable future for Pakistan, emphasizing the importance of joint efforts in tackling development challenges.

This initiative falls under the US-Pakistan 'Green Alliance' framework, which focuses on enhancing climate resilience efforts in Pakistan. The program, seeking funding from the Green Climate Fund, recognizes the vital role of reducing methane emissions in mitigating the impacts of climate change.

Methane, being a potent greenhouse gas, significantly contributes to global warming, underscoring the necessity of cutting emissions to limit the adverse effects of climate change.

The workshop organized by USAID marks a pivotal moment in Pakistan's journey towards sustainability and climate resilience. The collaboration between the US and Pakistan, under the 'Green Alliance' framework, highlights the commitment to addressing climate challenges and fostering a more environmentally conscious future for the nation.
