Description

Central Asia is a region with vast methane resources in both fossil and biogas sectors. When emitted into the atmosphere, methane is wasted as a commodity and has a potent effect on climate. Methane emissions contribute to a quarter of today’s global warming. It is over 80 times more potent than CO₂ with shorter lifespan in the atmosphere. To enable capture and use of methane through mitigation projects, national governments must set up favorable conditions for the private sector to identify opportunities and invest in emission reduction projects.

In this session governments and the private sector were invited to explore how to create favorable policy frameworks for improving success for mitigation projects and to prepare for accessing future carbon markets.
